One of my colleague struggling from two days for a Oracle client 11g 64 bit installation, where he is expecting a lib32 folder in Oracle_HOME as usual but he didn’t. Thanks to him first for sharing before to proceed further.
He didn’t succeeded to get lib32 folder instead he found this note, which may save your time too.
So What’s the Oracle’s Answer is about missing Lib32 folder in Oracle home, According to Note:- 883702.1.
$ORACLE_HOME/lib32 does not exist in Oracle database 11gR2. Why? [ID 883702.1]
This is expected behavior :(. DBA’s do not expect this unless until we hit.
“
Starting from Oracle database 11gR2, 32-bit libraries are not being shipped with the 64-bit Oracle database server or 64-bit Oracle database client media. Hence after installing Oracle database 11gR2, you will not find lib32 folder inside $ORACLE_HOME.
