Re: [cx-oracle-users] cx_Oracle-5.1.1 install help (Solaris 11 w/ Oracle DB Client 11.2.0.3 64-bit)

[Christopher J. <chr...@or...>]

Try installing the 32bit Instant Client 'basic' & 'sdk' packages and
link cx_Oracle with it (by creating a symlink libclntsh.so ->
libclntsh.so.11.1 and setting ORACLE_HOME to the instant client
directory).

Subsequently, prior to python runtime, set LD_LIBARY_PATH to the
Instant Client directory.  ORACLE_HOME should not be set at runtime
since python is using Instant Client.  It's only the cx_Oracle
installer that overloads the meaning of ORACLE_HOME.  Connections will
need a connect string, such as "localhost/orcl".  If you use a
tnsnames.ora file, then simply set TNS_ADMIN to its containing
directory.
