The Easysoft ODBC-Oracle Driver version 3.x is our fastest driver ever. Trial it free.

Why do I get error "[EasySoft]ORACLE_HOME not defined Error 69"?

This is because you haven't set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable. This should be set to the directory where you installed the Oracle client libraries. For example:

ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome1

Note If you're using the Instant Client, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of ORACLE_HOME. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory where the Instant Client is installed. For example:

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

There are other environment variables that you may need to set:

# For the Easysoft Oracle ODBC driver:
EASYSOFT_HOME=/usr/local/easysoft
export EASYSOFT_HOME

# For libclntsh.so:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# For libodbcinst.so:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$EASYSOFT_HOME/unixODBC/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# For isql:
PATH=$PATH:$EASYSOFT_HOME/unixODBC/bin
export PATH
