Dear all,
Can anyone please advice me as to how i should go about accessing the oracle-xe db that I just installed on my ubuntu 10.04 notebook via sqlplus? I have successfully installed the “oracle-xe 10g server” and client” and I can access the admin page from the browser. (http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex)

However when I try to say sqlplus on the shell it gives me this:
“error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

I have set the paths and variables right Im sure, but I just cant connect with sqlpolus.

Please help gentlemen I know nothing about oracle. Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

did you read the complete installation documenation? If you are unsure take a look at Puschitz Website, there are plenty of installation
documentations for Oracle on Linux.
