Bug 299347 – dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-11.2.0.1 doesn't create right symlinks

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Cedric Godin 2010-01-02 13:32:48 UTC]

The ebuild creates the following symlinks :
libclntsh.so -> /usr/lib/oracle/11.2.0.1/client/lib/libclntsh.so.11.2
libocci.so -> /usr/lib/oracle/11.2.0.1/client/lib/libocci.so.11.2

but it should point to so.11.1

the ebuilds posted in the revbump bug are correct (bug 293590)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
ldd /usr/lib/oracle/11.2.0.1/client/bin/sqlplus
...
libclntsh.so.11.1 => not found
...

Confirmed on my end.  For some reason the ebuild from bug 293590 was edited and a broken ebuild committed to portage.  The current ebuild is not even installing the .so files.  If I use the ebuilds as they were provided in bug 293590, everything works great.

same issue for me. the broken symlinks prevent other packages from building, such as dev-db/tora-2.1.0

The ebuild works for me, too, but it appears to pull in the 11.1 libraries.

Fixed in CVS.
