Actually, it doesn't. The lib needs to be in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with which oracle was started. So, you could do a thing like this: mkdir /home/mgogala/lib; cp usrslib.so /home/mgogala/lib chmod -R 755 /home/mgogala/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/home/mgogala/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH sqlplus "/ as sysdba"<<EOF startup force EOF wall<<EOF Please log off the database. Oracle instance will be restarted 2 minutes ago. May your work be pleasant and uninterrupted. In case of any problems, please contact your congressman. EOF
Now you can add the libary, connect the external procedure and have your users enjoy, unless they're gathering tar and feathers somewhere.
