failing to load ROracle: unable to load shared object ROracle.so: libclntsh.so.11.1 No such file or directory

Question

So I can\'t load ROracle. I am indeed very new to this so any information is appreciated and any info regarding what further information to give would be helpful as well.

Answer 1

If you really really really want to do this within the R environment, you can load the specific library as follows:

dyn.load("/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1")
library(ROracle)
