Grant,

You can simply use the file command to find out the ELF class. If it reports 32-bit, it's ELFCLASS32; if it's 64-bit, i's ELFCLASS64. When you say client shadow process, I assume you mean the shadow process on the server (as a "shadow" of the client in dedicated configuration).

You may want to check all libraries under $ORACLE_HOME/lib: cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib; file * | grep 64; file * | grep 32. If they're mixed, you need to relink.
