I am trying to acces oracle from linux server. I am using unixODBC.

When i try to acces oracle using isql and i get error that driver manager can't open libsqora.so.12.1.

odbc.ini

 Description=Oracle ODBC driver for Oracle 11g
 Driver=/usr/local/easysoft/oracle/InstantClient112/lib/libsqora.so

Then, when i use isql to acces oracle i get the following error:

 [root@xxxxx lib]# isql -v NAME
 [01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/local/easysoft/oracle/InstantClient112/lib/libsqora.so' : file not found

I had typo in odbcinst.ini. I have corrected but still same error.

 [root@xxxxx tmp]# isql -v NAME

Fixed original issue with LD_LIBRARY_PATH updates but now it is broken again since I am trying to use the 32bit Oracle client.

Installed 32bit oracle client in directory /opt/oraClient/11.2.0.4_32/.

Modified the odbcinst.ini:

[Oracle 11g ODBC driver]

#Driver=/usr/local/easysoft/oracle/InstantClient112/lib/libsqora.so.11.1
Driver=/opt/oraClient/11.2.0.4_32/lib/libsqora.so.11.1
FileUsage=1

Error:

[root@xxxxx lib]# /usr/local/bin/isql -v NAME

 [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

If I need to use the 32bit Oracle client, what am i doing wrong...I know it is something in environmental variables.

 [root@xxxxx lib]# file /opt/oraClient/11.2.0.4_32/lib/libsqora.so.11.1
 /opt/oraClient/11.2.0.4_32/lib/libsqora.so.11.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

I enable trace but am not able to attach document here. I can email.

More debug info:

 [root@xxxxx bin]# ldd /opt/oraClient/11.2.0.4_32/lib/libsqora.so.11.1
 ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/opt/oraClient/11.2.0.4_32/lib/libsqora.so.11.1'

I don't get one the "not found" which may be causing some problems:

The base instant client doesn't have that file (or a lib directory). So is it really the instant client as the path suggests, or a full client (or server)? – Alex Poole
Fixed...still not working. – user3521305
If you've rearranged the instant client files, I don't know if that might be confusing internals links - perhaps the error is abput another that one then can't find? You might also need to add the lib directory (and/or its parent) to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, does that make any difference? – Alex Poole
I updated the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with your feedback and it worked. – user3521305
I got isql working but found out that the the application that i am building this for only supports 32bit oracle client. Therefore I installed 32bit oracle and have broken it again. I am getting the same error now when executing sql. – user3521305

This error is misleading:

The file that the error claimed was not present did exist.

I was able to chase down the actual missing file by executing:

# ldd /path/to/your/socalled/missing/file.so

This returned a series of files and one said:

libodbcinst.so.2 => not found

That is was the culprit for me. I then created the link that I needed and voila, the error went away.

Instant client doesn't have a lib directory. If you've downloaded the instantclient-odbc-linux package and unzipped that in the same location as the basic package then the libsqora.so.11.1 file will be durectly under /usr/local/easysoft/oracle/InstantClient112.

So your .ini should point to:

Driver=/usr/local/easysoft/oracle/InstantClient112/libsqora.so.11.1

Note the extension though; you might want to soft-link that to libsqora.so. If you've moved the .so files into a subdirectory after unzipping (?) then you'd need:

Driver=/usr/local/easysoft/oracle/InstantClient112/lib/libsqora.so.11.1

It looks like you've reoriganised the instant client files after unzipping, creating a lib directory. I'm not sure if that will directly cause you problems. But you also haven't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as the installation instructions suggest:

Installation Steps:

  1. Download the appropriate Instant Client packages for your platform. All installations REQUIRE the Basic package.

  2. Unzip the packages into a single directory such as "instantclient".

  3. Set the library loading path in your environment to the directory in Step 2 ("instantclient"). On many UNIX platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the appropriate environment variable. On Windows, PATH should be used.

  4. Start your application and enjoy.

Clearly step (4) isn't working for you yet, but I think that's because you haven't done step (3); and I think as you've split the files - which might itself cause an issue - you may need to include both .../InstantClient112 and .../InstantClient112/lib in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. And make sure the modified value is exported. I'm not sure why you'd want to rearrange the files though.
