This procedure contains steps for Linux, AIX®, and Solaris.

Note: After installing Oracle11gR2 Enterprise Edition, the 32-bit libraries usually created in $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 are not created. For Oracle11g and beyond, Oracle does not create $ORACLE_HOME/lib32. The 32-bit libraries are required. Create the directory before installing Rational® Synergy.
