Hi all

I have more information, I did a chatr to check differences between working
server oracle binary and the non working.

I see two differences, in the server which LD_PRELOAD doesnt cause problem
oracle binary has these two attributes:

explicit unloading disabled
linkage table protection disabled

Does anyone know how can I change these attributes with chatr?

Cheers

 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.
