Re: 10g install on redhat 9 libctxc10.a Malformed Archive issue

Hi Mladen,

thanks very much for your reply. I tried nm and got a 45k listing of
object files in the library and then it fails with 

drlk2d.o: No symbols
        Malformed archive

So i guess your assumption is correct, the library is corrupt. I
followed Puschitz steps on his site and didn't install any compat stuff
for gcc as he suggests - i altered /etc/redhat-release to trick the
installer into thinking it was RHAS 3 and the installed passed all of
the other compatibility checks. So the question is - is the library
really corrupt or is it a gcc compat issue? 

Thanks Mladen.

kind regards

Pete
