Close, but no cigar....
I like to try to find the minimum set of steps needed to do these things, so I didn't install the compat RPMs or any of the other extra steps people mentioned (yet, anyway).
Here are the steps I've followed so far:
- make sure LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is set to 2.2.5
- run through the 8.1.7.0 install, choosing ignore for all errors
- at the second root.sh prompt, run root.sh and then apply the glibc patch
- the Net8 Assistant never comes up, which hangs the install, so kill it at this point
- run netca by hand, and kill it again when it hangs because lsnrctl doesn't exist (it needs to be created as Bruno mentioned above)
- install 8.1.7.4 patch, choosing ignore for all errors
- apply the glibc patch again
- run a script to cp and chmod files that are missing or have permissions set wrong (see below)
- run dbassist and save files to disk
- manually run the first file dbassist creates
Up to this point things were going well; there were no build errors when applying the glibc patch, which (as far as I can tell) gets us past the ctype errors. But now things fall apart with this beauty:
error while loading shared libraries: libskgxp8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is absolutely correct - that file does not exist. I do have libskgxp8.a, but I don't know how to get from here to there. I found a few threads on this in Google but no answers. There are no errors related to this library in the make log, so I don't think the answer is that a step failed (though I could certainly be wrong).
In fact, after having spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out why this file isn't getting built, I realized that I don't have it on any of my other Oracle installations either. They all have just the .a. So now I'm *really* confused. Why would it be looking for a .so on this system when it has obviously never needed one before?
Any suggestions? My next thought is to try changing the gcc version, like Bruno suggested, but I've spent so much time on this already I thought I'd solicit other opinons before spinning my wheels any further.
Here is the script I'm using to fix up the files and permissions, in case anyone else needs it. I created this by comparing the output from "ls -l" on this system and on one of my other ones. This is probably more than actually matters, but since I don't know what many of these programs do I figured it wouldn't hurt to clean things up a bit.
