How to fix service error Oracle jws webserver - linux

After RHEL6-7 migration setting up oracle jws web servers says "error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory "
/apps/oracle/jws-webserver-3.0.3/jws_proxy/httpd/sbin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Well, it looks like your migration messed up a couple of things.
Check if you actually have or not the library.
find / -name libpcre.so.1
If you do, then check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if not, then add the path to it so the binary can get it.
Another option is, pcre is not even installed, then process to get it and install it.

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

I have used ctags command to generate tags to traverse in vi editor. Unfortunately
a shared library is not available. how to fix this problem, i don't want to install the library as i'm working on a shared development environment.
Please check the below error.
ctags: error while loading shared libraries: libgpm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
Use export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/where/libgpm.so/is/located
And then start it again.

cx_Oracle on linux: ImportError: libclntsh.so.12.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm having problems using cx_Oracle on a linux system. I get the error message: libclntsh.so.12.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
What exactly do I need to install to make it work?
You need to install an Oracle client. The simplest is the Oracle Instant client which you can download from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index.html
Follow the instructions at the bottom of the page for the specific platform you are using. If you are using an RPM based distribution you can simply install the RPMs which do all of the dirty work for you!

Error while loading shared library : librun.so

I have a compiled script (it's some utility) and the source code of which is unavailable. As soon as I run the script this error shows up:
error while loading shared libraries: librun.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have faced these kind of errors in past which had different solutions. I tried all as per my knowledge and..
librun.so is there in lib folder of my application
It is symbolic link and pointing to correct version
librun.so is available in path variable
changed .profile to look for the required library
changed permissions and checked
"which librun.so" is also returning the presence of that library
still this error shows up.
What can be the reason for this problem?
The dynamic linker is unable to find librun.so during runtime linking of shared libraries. Try adding the path of directory containing librun.so to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when starting the application script.

could not load a library

I am using a tool that repeatedly returns an error saying that it cannot load a library file (libppl.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) at <path_to_file>. The thing is that the required file is actually there.
I've tried setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, adding entries to ld.so.conf and ld.so.conf.d and then running ldconfig, which are solutions I found on the links provided bellow. The problem, however, is still there. When running ldconfig -v, I can see that it looks at the file directory but does not populate the cache for any of the so files in the directory, including the one at <path_to_file>.
What could be the problem?
useful links:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Linux error while loading shared libraries: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The tool may be 32 bits and you've the 64 bits version of the library.
You can check the binary architecture via the file command.
Also, you can force the library via LD_PRELOAD

Poco based binary cannot find library during runtime

I have written a small HTTPServer application using Poco and I get the following error during runtime:
factoryProject> ./httpServer ./httpServer: error while loading shared
libraries: libPocoNet.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
My libraries successfully linked during compilation because they were located in a specific directory that I pointed to in my make file using a -L/some/path.
I have read up on the ldconfig command and it stated that it usually looks for libraries in /usr/lib, but I do not have admin privee to add the Poco libraries into that directory.
How do I point to that a custom library directory so that ld will load it during runtime?
I have looked into a few possible solutions with the most popular being to add a config file for ldconfig to pickup, but this solution seems complicated and I do not want to add a config file to this common server.
The solution that was the simplest for me was to update the following environment variable:
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable can list directories where libraries are searched for first during runtime and after setenv command I have a working HTTP server!
