Ubuntu 24.04 incompatibility/dificulty - libaio.so.1 VS libaio.so.1t64

[Garfius]

It seems instantclient-basic-linux.x64-23.7.0.25.01.zip is compiled using libaio.so.1, which does not exist in Ubuntu 24.04 as can be seen in this post.

A symlink solves the issue.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaio.so.1t64 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaio.so.1

It is no stopper, but i just wasted too many valuable time wondering WHY!

Please, at least document it.

Regards.

Thanks for the report. The Oracle client installation guide doc writers already had a draft on this - but a question about certification remains.

Out of interest, what python-oracledb Thick mode / cx_Oracle features are you using that are not in python-oracledb Thin mode?
