Oracle PSU 11.1.0.7.15: “genclntsh: Failed to link libclntsh.so.11.1”
So here is yet another troubleshooting post. Today I was applying another PSU for an older Oracle 11.1.0.7 database and received the following error after issuing $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply
:
The following warnings have occurred during OPatch execution:
1) OUI-67215:
OPatch found the word "failed" in the stderr of the make command.
Please look at this stderr. You can re-run this make command.
Stderr output:
/usr/bin/ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
genclntsh: Failed to link libclntsh.so.11.1
/usr/bin/ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
2) OUI-67215:
OPatch found the word "failed" in the stderr of the make command.
Please look at this stderr. You can re-run this make command.
Stderr output:
/usr/bin/ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
genclntsh: Failed to link libclntsh.so.11.1
/usr/bin/ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
My quick Google search returned only results that indicated I had to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. I already had set this environment variable correctly, so I looked on for more answers. In My Oracle Support document 471745.1 I found that I had to install the package glibc-devel:
# yum install glibc-devel.i686
After installing this package, I was able to install the PSU without any problems.
