For the 1.3 upgrade, I followed the instructions and upgraded to the instantclient 11g RPMs. After doing so, I’ve found that my oracle 10g database now has startup/shutdown issues due to sqlplus library conflicts.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My server now has 11g client libs in /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib along with the 10g libs in /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/xe/lib. The oracle start scripts is all confused now and fails to start and stop the database. Has anyone run into this problem and has a fix for it?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ve made sure that PATH is set correctly for the oracle use so that it finds the correct sqlplus binary in the /opt/oracle.. directory but that’s not good enough. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/xe/lib and that doesn’t seem to help as well. If I temporarily rename the /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib dir, oracle starts up ok. So how do I deal with the library conflicts?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>--james<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
