I think it depends on what 11.2 version you're on? Page 2-13 of the Linux
Install Guide notes that the 32-bit packages (except the gcc one) are not
required only if your database is 11.2.0.2+. Metalink Note 880989.1
(Requirements for Installing Oracle 11gR2 RDBMS on RHEL (and OEL) 5 on
AMD64/EM64T) also makes this distinction. Metalink Note 169706.1 (Oracle
Database (RDBMS) on Unix AIX,HP-UX,Linux,Mac OS X,Solaris,Tru64 Unix
Operating Systems Installation and Configuration Requirements Quick
Reference 8.0.5 to 11.2) does not, but it does say to refer to Metalink Note
880989.1 for specifics, so I think you're safe not installing the 32-bit
version packages except for gcc_32bit.

Subject: question on required rpm for rhel5 for 11.2
In the past, our SAs have typically installed a lot of 32-bit versions of
Oracle rpms on a 64-bit machine. One of these is elfutils-libelf.i386.
Our procedures have changed and our SAs will now not install the 32-bit
version unless it is required.
The 32-bit version of this library isn't listed as a requirement in the
Oracle installation documentation. However, there are a number of other
websites where people have posted instructions for installing the Oracle
software and they include this rpm as a requirement.
Anyone know why the 32-bit version would be listed as a requirement on these
other (typically reliable) sites, but not as a requirement by Oracle?
Do others typically install the 32-bit version of this library?
