I have seen it where it was necessary to downgrade some of the libraries
to what oracle wants.

... believe or not, on that system 'version or later' was assumed, but
would not work.

Of course, it is best to be able to verify that, but if you can't wait,
you can put them in, try it, and if it doesn't work put it back the way
it is.

Subject: Question re CRS installation and Redhat Linux Versioning 

Greetings,

I realize this is an Oracle list but I am hoping someone may be
experienced enough with Linux to assist me here. I am attempting to
install CRS 10.2.0.1.0 on two separate clusters both running RHEL4 and
configured identically. I can install CRS successfully but after
installation some operations, srvctl stop nodeapps -n <node_name> for
example, there are others, cause the CRS to 'hang' on one node. I have
an SR open with Oracle (it's been a month now with no resolution) and
they are finally coming to questioning the Linux installation which, as
I understand it and according to the installation guide, the cluvfy
utility and the RDA pre-checks is configured correctly but I am
beginning to wonder. 

First, The Redhat 4 must also be at RHEL AS/ES 4.0 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL or
higher. On my systems uname -a returns...
Linux barnaby 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 17:03:35 EDT 2007 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux?

As to RPMS....
We have binutils-2.15.92.0.2-22 - oracle wants
binutils-2.15.92.0.2-10.EL4 
We have control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.5 - oracle wants
control-center-2.8.0-12 
We have gcc-3.4.6-8 - oracle wants gcc-3.4.3-9.EL4 
We have gcc-c++-3.4.6-8 - oracle wants gcc-c++-3.4.3-9.EL4
We have glibc-2.3.4-2.36 - oracle wants glibc-2.3.4-2 
We have glibc-common-2.3.4-2.36 - oracle wants glibc-common-2.3.4-2 
We have libstdc++-3.4.6-8 - oracle wants libstdc++-3.4.3-9.EL4 
We have libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-8 - oracle wants
libstdc++-devel-3.4.3-9.EL4 
We have make-3.80-6.EL4 - oracle wants make-3.80-5 
We have pdksh-5.2.14-30.3 - oracle wants pdksh-5.2.14-30 
We have sysstat-5.0.5-15.0.1.el4 - oracle wants sysstat-5.0.5-1 
We have xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.14 - oracle wants
xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2 
We have openmotif21-2.1.30-11.RHEL4.6 - oracle wants
openmotif21-2.1.30-11.RHEL4.2 (required to install Oracle demos) 
We have libaio-0.3.105-2 - oralce wants libaio-0.3.102-1

As I understand it we are compliant. I am also concerned that the
analyst working on the SR said "what I am concern is that the some of
the packages required ends with EL4. I am not sure what the EL4 means,
and I also am not sure what rhel4.5 means for
control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.5." That comment concerns me a bit, I
asked him to verify with someone in the Linux group. In the meantime if
someone can confirm for me that we are in fact on a supported version
and also answer the questions the analyst proposed I would be most
appreciative.

Thanks.
