Database link to SQL Server Init error

Question

Hi all,
i´m tryng to create a dblink between Oracle 10.2.0 in a RHEL4 and a SQL Server.
I can connect using isql but when i try using sqlplus i obtain this error:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK dbl
CONNECT TO "user"
IDENTIFIED BY "pwd"
USING 'hsodbc'; 2 3 4
Enlace con la base de datos creado.
SQL> SELECT * FROM Table_1@dbl;
SELECT * FROM Table_1@dbl
ERROR en línea 1:
ORA-28545: error diagnosticado por Net8 al conectar a un agente (error in Net8 while connecting an agent)
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: 2 lines precediendo a DBL
This is the error explanantion in Oracle Docs:
I think the problem is the ini file inithsodbc.ora.
inithsodbc.ora

# needed for an ODBC Agent.

I have changed the inithsodbc.ora file including:
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME =/usr/lib/libodbc.so (I have ODBC installed)
