On Gentoo we install oracle-instantclient libraries in /usr/lib64/oracle/client/lib64 on 64-bit systems and in /usr/lib/oracle/client/lib on 32-bit systems. This was done because in a 64-bit system with multilib, both 32-bit libraries (/usr/lib64/oracle/client/lib) and 64-bit libraries (/usr/lib64/oracle/client/lib64) were installed. For now, this specification is disabled because it is rare to have the same version of oracle instantclient for both 32-bit and 64-bit.

To share some background direction info in case it helps anyone planning: Oracle 23ai (and later) do not (and will not) have 32-bit clients. You can continue to use 19c 32-bit client to connect to DB 23ai. |
