[cx-oracle-users] CentOS 5, Oracle 11g RPM Binary install - libclntsh.so.11.1:

[Jeff M. <je...@te...>]

Hi,

I have a fully functional Oracle 11g server install. Its a 32bit machine running CentOS 5.8

I installed this : http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cx-oracle/cx_Oracle-5.1.2-11g-py24-1.i386.rpm?download

By doing "rpm -i cx_Oracle-5.1.2-11g-py24-1.i386.rpm"

Then as a regular user I set the following environment variables (i run source env.sh..)

[jmacdonald@devoracle python]$ cat env.sh 
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1/lib/
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID ORACLE_HOME PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then when I run my teeny tiny testing script, I get the following:

[jmacdonald@devoracle python]$ python connect.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "connect.py", line 2, in ?
    import cx_Oracle
ImportError: libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[jmacdonald@devoracle python]$ locate libclntsh.so.11.1
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1/inventory/Scripts/ext/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1/inventory/backup/2012-01-30_10-26-09PM/Scripts/ext/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1

I'm kinda stuck. Any suggestions?

Thanks
