1. Re: sqlplus with Instant Client?
Hi,
Might be the SQL Client files got corrupted or download Installation is corrupted. Try to re-install and Check.
Is this 11g which you are working on.
I am not sure still.

Did you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH ? What was the sequence of unzip ?

3. Re: sqlplus with Instant Client?
$ORACLE_HOME is set to the base directory under which the lib and bin directories are located (/opt/oracle/product/ora_current).
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes both $ORACLE_HOME/lib and $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
The instantclient-basic-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip and instantclient-sdk-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip files were both unzipped (in that order) into the $ORACLE_HOME/lib direcotry.
The instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip was unzipped last, into the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
When I try "fine $ORACLE_HOME sp1us.msb -print" there is no sp1us.msb found. In fact there are no *.msb files anywhere under $ORACLE_HOME.
Should sp1us.msb have been part of the instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip file?
The database to which I want to connect is 10g. The 11g Instant Client should connect ok, right?
Thanks all. -
4. Re: sqlplus with Instant Client?
Can you please post the output of
env | sort
Is NLS_LANG set ?
Is TNS_ADMIN set ? -
5. Re: sqlplus with Instant Client?
Neither NLS_LANG nor TNS_ADMIN is set.
There are quite a few environment variables set. I've omitted a few to keep this post to a reasonable size ;-)
With that said, here is the output from env | sort

Will you be using TNS_ADMIN (For TNSNames) ? If so, set TNS_ADMIN
Do you have multiple ORACLE Homes on this machine ? -
7. Re: sqlplus with Instant Client?
Thanks for the concrete suggestion. I ran the two export commands; sqlplus still reports
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
Note that $ORACLE_HOME/bin was already in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Was your suggestion specifically to make it the first directory there (i.e., that there is importance to the order in which directories appear in LD_LIBRARY_PATH)?
The box on which I'm trying to get this installed is a desktop Linux box. It has no Oracle db installed on it. I'm trying to use it only as a client to access an Oracle 10g database on a Sun Solaris box. There is only one $ORACLE_HOME on the Linux desktop box (/opt/oracle/product/ora_current). Note that "ora_current" is a symbolic link to "11.2" which is the real directory under which the lib and bin directories are located.
I do not plan to use TNS_ADMIN.
I am still perplexed -- if sqlplus needs sp1<lang>.msb, why is that file not part of the instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip file?
There are NO .msb files anywhere under the $ORACLE_HOME directory. Should I be trying to find a file "sp1us.msb" somewhere on OTN?
Thanks again. -

Are you executing SQLPLUS from Oracle user ?
There is only one $ORACLE_HOME on the Linux desktop box (/opt/oracle/product/ora_current). Note that "ora_current" is a symbolic link >to "11.2" which is the real directory under which the lib and bin directories are located.
Try to execute these and see what you get...
ls -alt $ORACLE_HOME/bin
ls -alt $ORACLE_HOME/lib

Yes, my intent was to bring ORACLE_HOME directory in the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the first entry. -

13. Re: sqlplus with Instant Client?
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. As is so often the case, this was just "user error" on my part ;-}
I was stubbornly determined to put everything from instantclient-basic-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip and instantclient-sdk-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip into a lib directory under $ORACLE_HOME, and put everything from instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip into a bin directory under $ORACLE_HOME.
All I had to do was unzip all 3 files into the same directory, and make that be $ORACLE_HOME. Voila, sqlplus now runs on this desktop linux box, and can connect to the various 10g databases on Solaris boxes.
Again, thanks all. -
