sawserver: error while loading shared libraries: libodbc.so - During OBIEE 11g installation

Question

Hi,

I am installing OBIEE 11.1.1.9.0 on Oracle Linux 6.5

While running the installer, it is getting stuck at the following step "Restarting J2EE applications" as a part of Configuration Progress

On checking the log files, I am getting the following error

sawserver: error while loading shared libraries: libodbc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can anybody guide me in resolving this error ?

Regards

The ODBC drivers are missing in the library path of your server.

If they do not exist install it and then point them as below.
