I am trying to connect to Oracle using unixODBC but it doesn't work. So far I have tried to follow How do I setup Oracle ODBC drivers on RHEL 6/Linux . When I try to connect using isql I get following:
user@user:~$ isql -v oracle-jono
[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client/lib/libsqora.so.12.1' : file not found
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
I have checked that /usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client/lib/libsqora.so.12.1 exists. When I run ldd command it says that libclntsh.so.12.1 is not found:
user@user:~$ ldd /usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client/lib/libsqora.so.12.1

In other questions/answers (like https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/12005/oracle11-2g-post-installation-problem-on-oracle-linux-kernel) there is this libclntsh.so.12.1 file but I don't have it. So I can't even try to link/chmod it.
Where could I get missing libclntsh.so.12.1? Or is there some other issues which I don't know?
The solution was to install also basic packages from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxsoft-082809.html . I had only installed ODBC packages.
