Rojenkin, I believe you are correct in this solution. I remember the linking step in the instruction that I have. I tried 3 different sets of instructions to get 9.2.0.2 then the 9.2.0.5 patch installed. All were different. I Finally discarded them because of different errors and used human intuition in the load steps and they worked perfectly.

The solution for me was that the directory $ORACLE_HOME/lib did not have the file libclntsh.so.9.0 and a link to the same file libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.9.0 I copied the libclntsh.so.9.0 file from another server with the same OS and database version and then created the link. I was then able to relink Oracle. >>> jbdonga@xxxxxxxxxxx 4/13/04 9:09:26 AM >>> Rich, Thanks for your response. I did try many times "relink all" command and is generating bunch of errors. It is also corrupting 9201 software. Oracle analyst says there may be some UNIX configuration or permissions problems, but could not identify what the problem is. Is there any UNIX parameter that I am missing or set too low? -- Janardhana -----Original Message----- From: Jesse, Rich [mailto:Rich.Jesse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 6:42 AM To: 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: 9205 patchset Linking error ...... Try relinking it manually using "relink oracle" to get more information on the error. I suppose the message's probably in the installer logs, too...
