=>This just means that libclntsh.so nor libclntsh.a cannot be find in linker

You have a number of problems here. The first is that your linker thinks 
it's trying to find a file called -lclntsh when it should report that it 
can't find libclntsh.a. Is oracle installed in the same place that you 
plan on running it? If not, you should look at the -rpath option to ld as 
well. Are you running ld directly or through gcc? If the former, why? If 
not, are you also passing other options to the linker that the compiler 
does not know about?
