Stefan, Are you using Oracle9i CDs for AIX 4.3.x? There are separate Oracle9i CDs for AIX 5.1 installation.

Make sure no errors were reported. Also how did you apply the patches. From .02 or 03 on I believe that the Oracle patch utility has to be used rather than just running the scripts for the patches to install correctly. My OS administrator is literally out to lunch but I believe that you have to configure ASYNC IO on the AIX platform before it can be used. Your AIX administrator should be able to check that out. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Stefan Jahnke Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 5:44 AM To: Oracle DBA List (E-Mail) Subject: Help: Oracle on AIX 5.2 Hi list I'm running into the following problem: Installed 9.2.0.1.0 on an RS/6000 p630 (Proc. model 7248), 64bit AIX 5.2 Patched to 9.2.0.4.0. I can't start any executable like sqlplus / lsnrctl. We haven't created any DBs yet, just the fresh install with an immediately applied patch set. Here's what I get: oracle@paris:/home/oracle>which sqlplus /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2/bin/sqlplus oracle@paris:/home/oracle>sqlplus exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program sqlplus because of the following errors: 0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /usr/lib/libc.a[aio_64.o] because: 0509-136 Symbol kaio_rdwr64 (number 0) is not exported from dependent module /unix. 0509-136 Symbol listio64 (number 1) is not exported from dependent module /unix. 0509-136 Symbol acancel64 (number 2) is not exported from dependent module /unix. 0509-136 Symbol iosuspend64 (number 3) is not exported from dependent module /unix. 0509-136 Symbol aio_nwait (number 4) is not exported from dependent module /unix. 0509-150 Dependent module libc.a(aio_64.o) could not be loaded. 0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a valid format. 0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command. oracle@paris:/home/oracle> Dump gives me the following output (e.g. for listio64): oracle@paris:/home/oracle>dump -X64 -oTv /usr/lib/libc.a | grep listio64 [3] 0x00000000 undef IMP DS EXTref /unix _posix_listio64 [11] 0x000000a8 .data EXP DS SECdef [noIMid] _posix_lio_listio64 [1] 0x00000000 undef IMP DS EXTref /unix listio64 [8] 0x00000088 .data EXP DS SECdef [noIMid] lio_listio64 oracle@paris:/home/oracle> So, the symbol is actually being exported. What might be the problem? Does async i/o have to be activated on the RS/6000? PS: I'm totally new to AIX, so the question might be kind of dumb;). Any ideas?
