libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file

Question

I have a simple test program that when I run I get:

./hello: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or d         


        

Answer 1

It looks like a 32/64 bit mismatch. The ldd output shows that mainly libraries from /lib64 are chosen. That would indicate that you have installed a 64 bit version of the Oracle client and have created a 64 bit executable. But libaio.so is probably a 32 bit library and cannot be used for your application.

So you either need a 64 bit version of libaio or you create a 32 bit version of your application.
