Summary:
How do I install 9.2.0.4 64bit on RHEL 4 x86_64?
I've done it successfully a bunch on RHEL 3 x86_64.
Details:
We have new IBM Blade Servers with the 64bit Opteron CPUs. Our server
guys have installed RHEL 4 x86_64 with the 32bit libs included in that
installation.
I'm trying to install 9.2.0.4 64bit, then patch to 9.2.0.8 before creating
new databases. The 9.2.0.4 install fails with the linking of ExtProc32.
What am I missing? Also, is there a 9i R2 doc for RHEL 4 x86_64? I can't
find it, though the one for RHEL 3 x86_64 is there.
Previously, we had installed these two Oracle rpms mentioned in the RHEL 4
x86 install docs:
compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm
compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm
The 9.2.0.4 install was successful, as well as the patch to 9.2.0.8.
However, we got the error below doing just about any OS command, like ls,
also, it appeared hundreds of times in the make.log.
object '/usr/lib/libcwait.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be
preloaded: ignored.
So we removed the two rpms listed above, since we found various references
that they were only appropriate for the x86 install, not the x86_64
install.
I tried the 9.2.0.4 install again, to see if it would work, but it failed
at the ExtProc32 link, as I mentioned above.
The docs say that 9.2.0.8 is certified with RHEL 4 x86_64, but must be
installed in an existing 9.2.0.4 Oracle_Home. How the heck to I get that
9.2.0.4 Oracle_Home under RHEL 4 x86_64? Do we need to re-install the
rpms listed above, install 9.2.0.4., remove the rpms and re-install the
32bit libs, then patch to 9.2.0.8?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
