AW: [Spacewalk-list] error in the docu..

Tue Sep 15 09:57:09 UTC 2009

Hmmm so what I did wrong ? Followed the Install instructions step by step. This didn't bring me to a running version.
Without setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH sqlplus64 will not run. A sqlplus command isn't installed on my System  !

Atm iam having a full functional Spacewalker running. So where is my mistake ?

No.

The client tools are supposed to use the InstantClient tools which do
not require ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. They (might) require
/etc/tnsnames.ora but not the environment variables.

If you set the environment variables, you will force the other client
libraries (cx_Oracle, perl-DBD-Oracle) to dynamically load libraries
from the Oracle XE distribution, which are *not* the libraries they
were compiled and tested against. Thus, you might experience Oracle
libraries issues in the future. This is the reason we have the
installation instructions and we recommend to follow them.
