We are trying to install third party software on this unix server...

Here is the error message we are getting...

error while loading shared libraries: libodbc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems like odbc driver is not installed...

>rpm -q unixODBC
package unixODBC is not installed

>ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/odbc/lib
