Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 9

I did that (editing setup_stubs.sh) a few days ago and this is what I got:

I get this error when linking oracle

/usr/bin/ld: /export/oracle/product/8.1.7/rdbms/lib/oracle: hidden symbol `__fixunssfdi' in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/libgcc.a(_fixunssfdi.oS) is referenced by DSO

This one when linking extproc, agtctl, hsalloci, hsots, hsdepxa

/usr/bin/ld: /export/oracle/product/8.1.7/rdbms/lib/extproc: hidden symbol `stat64' in /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(stat64.oS) is referenced by DSO

The ctype errors when linking oemagent, dbsnmp, oratclsh, tnslsnr, lsnrctl

then ins_precomp.mk errors out without building anything because it tries to execute

rm -f /export/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/

which of course doesn't work

Then these errors when linking ctxhx

/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `__mailto:ctype_b_loc@GLIBC_2.3';
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_addr@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_open@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_close@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_sym@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_vsym@GLIBC_PRIVATE'

So some are ctype errors and some aren't.

I might be able to fix some of these by installing the compat packages, but that won't fix the ctype errors.

Clues, suggestions, etc?

thanks,
