Libcltsh.so not available for install on Oracle 9i Client for openVMS

[Vikash Jain]

I have just completed installing Oracle 9.2.0.2 client on an HP Alpha
Open VMS system. I used the custom install and installed almost
everything. At the end of install the following message was shown:
LIBCLNTSH.SO not available for install
Re-run insoracle to install the same at a later point

Everything else went fine. I tried running the insoracle.com script
again - but the same problem comes up again and again. The script
searches for file libclntsh.so in the ORA_ROOT:[lib32] directory and
if it does not find it there - throws up the message - I can't
understand why this file is missing.

Also - I am using pro*c and Pro*fortran files - when they are linked
using the Oracle supplied lnproc and lnprofor linkers, they fail to
find the Libclntsh.so file and the image is not created.

Can someone help.

In case - someone else comes across this problem - we have found that
Oracle suggests that this is a bug in the client installation and to
get the file - there are 2 optons:
1. Install the server and copy the file over to the required folder
2. If you can get hold of Oracle server installation on the same
platform - anywhere - then copy the file from there.
