Shared Library Problems

[Chaitanya Soman]

Hi,

I am using the "libclntsh.sl.9.0" shared library for my Pro*C programs. Whenever I want to debug these programs through "gdb" utility, I get the following error :-
"Version of shared library /opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/lib/libclntsh.sl.9.0 not understood"

We use the SHLIB_PATH environment variable for dynamicaly linking shared libraries. I have verified that this variable is correctly set, still I am facing this problem.

[Steven E. Protter]

if SHLIB_PATH is correct(I think there may be an invisible character, a tab or something), then the pickings are slim.

Do me a favor:

Try this command.

ll /opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/lib/libclntsh.sl.9.0

If you don't get an answer, SHLIB_PATH is wrong.

If not, take a look at these threads.....

Hi,
can you post a "file /opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/lib/libclntsh.sl.9.0" and tell us on which OS are you compiling ?

I suspect 32/64 bit mixing or wrong architecture Itanium/PARISC.
