There are two ways to resolve this error. We can follow either ways.

1. By setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment
2. By creating the soft links for the missing Library Files

 

1. Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

vi .bash_profile

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib

 

• Save the file and execute the proflie

. ./.bash_profile

 

 

• Check whether GGSCI Prompt is working
