Answer 1

In my case I solved it like this for python

I solved this by simply zipping the files properly with the symbolic links

First I created three symbolic links :

ln -s ./lib/libaio.so.1.0.1 ./lib/libaio.so.1

ln -s ./lib/libaio.so.1.0.1 ./lib/libaio.so

ln -s ./lib/libaio.so.1.0.1 ./libaio.so.1.0.1

ln -s ./lib/libclntsh.so.12.1 ./lib/libclntsh.so

then I was zipping it incorrectly I did it like this:

zip --symlinks -r9 ~/lamda.zip *

It worked! properly then.Hope it helps somebody.

Answer 2

Thanks to @evenro, I went back to look at Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01804 and tried setting the ORACLE_HOME environment variable.

It worked, but then I started checking which variables I really needed, so in the end I only used:

• ORACLE_HOME: pointing at the oracle client basedir
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH: point at the lib folder inside the client

This is how it worked in the end:

ORACLE_HOME=/somefolder/oracle/client/v11.2.0.2-64bit/client_1/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/somefolder/oracle/client/v11.2.0.2-64bit/client_1/lib/ node app.js

Thank you again for all the help in the comments, much appreciated.
