RE: LD_PRELOAD problem

LD_PRELOAD allows you to hijack dynamicly loaded library functions. If
sqlplus calls function X, then if this function X is exported from your
/sbl/xxx.sl then this function X is called from /sbl/xxx.sl even if it
exists in some other dll against which the executable is linked (like
libclntsh* libraries).
 
Run: nm /sbl/xxx.sl to see which functions may be hijacked there, this could
give some more indication what's going on.
 
And of course, the library's word-size has to match word-size of the
executable. If the word sizes are different, you have to recompile the
library.

However when I unset LD_PRELOAD sqlplus works but of course the application
specific program fails.
