Hello Ben, I _think_ you just have to create a symlink to this version of the libclntsh:
1. Open a Terminal 2. Navigate to the instant client directory, e.g. suppose it is in your Downloads: cd ~/Downloads/instantclient_11_2 3. Create the symlink: ln -s libclntsh.dylib.11.1 libclntsh.dylib Kind regards, Panos -- On Thu, 3 Mar 2022 at 15:25, Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Panos, > > LiveCode 9.6.6 on macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina). > > I've downloaded the Oracle stuff but it doesn't seem to have an install > script > - where should I put "libclntsh.dylib.11.1"? > > thanks for your help, > > Ben > > On 02/03/2022 12:58, panagiotis m via use-livecode wrote: > > Hello Ben, > > > > I take it you are on MacOS?
