Hi all,

problems regarding the load of the media management library
are often caused by not placing the library in $ORACLE_HOME/lib.

According to the documentation you have to place the file 
/lib/libnwora.so in $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so. I recommend
linking (ln -s) the file instead of copying it.

>From Oracle 10g on Linux onwards you do not need to relink the
oracle database in order to load the library. Placing the library
in the correct location and using a 64-bit library for a 64-bit database
is enough. The library will be loaded dynamically when you start rman.
