Conveniently enough, I had the certify information open this morning as I am doing an install and knew there were problems See below John Operating System: Linux (x86) Version Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3 Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 9.2 N/A Version N/A Status: Certified Product Version Note: None available for this product. Certification Note: Existing patch sets: 9.2.0.2 9.2.0.3 9.2.0.4 9.2.0.5 9.2.0.6 9.2.0.7 * The following requirements are needed for a successful installation of Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.1) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 * 1. Software: o Linux kernel version would be 2.4.21-4.EL o Glibc Version Number glibc 2.3.2-95.3 o Required OS Components - compat-db-4.0.14.5 - compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122 - compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122 - compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122 - compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122 - openmotif21-2.1.30-8.i386.rpm - setarch-1.3-1 * 2. Environment: o Put gcc296 and g++296 first in $PATH variable by creating the following symbolic links. These are required for the relinking of some Oracle binaries (as root) % mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323 % mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323 % ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc % ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++ o hostname command should return the fully qualified hostname as shown below: - % hostname - hostname.domainname o If any Java packages are installed on the system, unset the Java environment variables, for example JAVA_HOME. o The oracle account used to install Oracle 9.2.0.1, should not have the Oracle install related variables set by default. For example setting ORACLE_HOME, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include Oracle binaries in .profile, .login file and /etc/profile.d should be completely avoided. * 3. Other environment settings: o For hugemem kernel install rpm setarch-1.0-2.i386.rpm or higher. - % setarch i386 For uni, smp and boot kernel this step is not required. o Define and export the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL before starting the install process: - % export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 * Additional Installation Steps o Open a new terminal window o Apply bug patch 3006854 - to resolve libcwait symbol issue before invoking Oracle installer. o After completing above steps start ./runInstaller from 9iR2 CD 1 from shell where you have defined above variable. You may get the following two errors: o Relink error for ins_oemagent.mk - Click ignore and complete the install. Apply the patch for Bug 3119415 after the install is completed o ctx relinking error in ins_ctx.mk: Click ignore. This is fixed by applying 9.2.0.4 patchset o The installation will continue without displaying further errors. ADDITIONAL NOTE o For customers using asynch_io , apply bug patch 3208258. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Prabhu, K Sent: 17 October 2005 05:58 To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Error during Oracle9iR2 Installation on RH Linux All, We're trying to install Oracle 9iR2 on RHLinux8.0 box. After completing all pre-installations task, we invoked the runInstaller to start the install process. During the installation process, the Install phase completed successfully and Linking phase have been started. In this phase, while invoking all the make (.mk) files, we got an error saying "Error on invoking CTX_ON on make file /usr/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/rdbms/plsql/ins_plsql.mk " We tried many times and got held up with the same error. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks Prabhu -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
