| 7 | On Linux, if you are using the [http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html Instant Client] and './configure' can not locate Oracle headers and libraries and throws in config.log a message saying: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | {{{ |
| 10 | /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh |
| 11 | }}} |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Then check if there is symbolic link with name ''libclntsh.so'' in ''<PREFIX>/lib'' pointing to binary with name like 'libclntsh.so.X.Y'. If it isn't there, create it using similar command to this: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | {{{ |
| 16 | $ ln -s /opt/instantclient_11_2/libclntsh.so.11.1 /opt/instantclient_11_2/libclntsh.so |
| 17 | }}} |
