    error in upgrading 8.1.7.0 client to 8.1.7.4

    Hi,

    I'm trying to upgrade oracle 8.1.7.0 client to 8.1.7.4 .
    i gave the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib:/usr/lib

    When applying 8.1.7.4 patch it throws error saying
    'error in creating link from /u01/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/ldflags to
    /u01/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib64/ldflags "


    Can anybody help me on this ...

    Read the 8174 patch READme files before attempting to do patching.
    Try to create a link from /u01/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/test to /u01/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib64/test and see if you get the same error.

    The lib64 folder is not present in $ORACLE_HOME .. i've installed only the 8.1.7.0 client .. not the server

    I want to upgrade the 8.1.7.0 client to 8.1.7.4 . and the 8.1.7.4 patch i took from metalik is for orace data server ..
    Will it be one of the reasons ??

    I checked the read me files.. nothing is written on that regarding this

    did you download the 64 bit version when you really wanted the 32bit version?

    Yes, When the patch is for the server how can you apply that for the client.

    why you want to patch the client...?

    the only way to patch a client is through the server patchset.

    And maybe he wats some bug fuxes?

    that is the correct method

    Cannot be taken into assumption

    Not all the server patches are applied on the client.
    That depends on the patch Whether it needs to be applied on the client as well, specified clearly in README documents.
