[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/local/easysoft/oracle/InstantClient112/lib/libsqora.so' : file not found

Question

I am trying to acces oracle from linux server. I am using unixODBC.

When i try to acces oracle using isql and i get error that driver manager can\'t open libsqora.so

Answer 1

This error is misleading:

The file that the error claimed was not present did exist.

I was able to chase down the actual missing file by executing:

# ldd /path/to/your/socalled/missing/file.so

This returned a series of files and one said:

libodbcinst.so.2 => not found

That is was the culprit for me. I then created the link that I needed and voila, the error went away.
