hmmm - running ldd on libclntsh.so gives me this: linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00110000) libnnz10.so => /oracle/product/10.2.0.3/lib/libnnz10.so (0x00111000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00317000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x0031c000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00345000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x0035e000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00377000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00687000) I'm running a Fedora 8 box - 10.2.0.3 Oracle install... pg
