Im unable to set my env variable for oracle client in my terminal.

When I try this command the env variable is not being set

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2

but when I try this its working fine.

export DYLS_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2

Not sure what is the difference between DYLD & DYLS

What do mean by not set; if you echo/printf `$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` it's blank? Or it has a value and you get an error running an Oracle executable? – Alex Poole Feb 01 '16 at 16:01
I dont see the variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH being displayed when I try the env command – user1050619 Feb 01 '16 at 16:02
It's still set; you can see it with `export | grep LIB`. It's part of the OS protection. – Alex Poole Feb 01 '16 at 16:04
thanks much...I see it..Should'nt it be visible when I enter the env command – user1050619 Feb 01 '16 at 16:05
