Here are a few ideas: libclntsh.a is built by oracle, is part of the oracle client. I'm assuming that is missing because it can't find the Solaris 8 math libraries (libm.a). Is that visible to you in /usr/lib ? $ORACLE_HOME/install/make.log will show the true errors. Have you verified that you have all the correct Solaris 8 Packages and Patches installed? Specifically SUNWlibm Are you sure you have the 64-bit install? $ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink client_sharedlib - manually build libclntsh On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 10:27 AM, Khan, Muhammad S <Muhammad.Khan@xxxxxx> wrote: > I'd put up this problem some days ago.
