Linux O/S error on Export

[ScottG]

Please help newbie...I have changed protections, modified path and am still getting an error when trying to perform an export.

[oracle@massrv lib]$ exp ****/***** file=tst.dmp owner=outage2 indexes=y
exp: error in loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The file is on the system in the lib directory:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 16 Feb 22 2000 libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.8.0
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 5800677 Feb 22 2000 libclntsh.so.8.0

Is the path of the library in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH envrionment variable?

Is the path of the library in your /etc/ld.so.conf file? If it isn't, add it to the file and then run 'ldconfig'.

Type "ldconfig -v | grep libclntsh" and see what comes back, post it if you want.

Sometimes everything seems correct and the library still gives an error, I suppose something isn't correct but it's not always easy to find. Try those first steps first and let me know what happens.

added the path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable and everything worked fine. Thank you very much!!!
