Ok, progress.... I redid the install with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL set to 2.4.7 and that allowed the Net 8 Assistant to run through properly. It also resulted in a better output from ldd: 
[oracle@abyssinian bin]$ ldd oracle
        libskgxp8.so => not found
        libjox8.so => /export/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/libjox8.so (0xb725d000)
        libobk.so => /export/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/libobk.so (0xb7254000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7251000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0xb722e000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0xb71dd000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0xb70a4000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb75eb000)
I probably won't work on this much today (I do have other things i'm supposed to be doing) but I wanted to at least get this update posted. More will follow, as I do need to figure this out.

Janine,

I don't have access to the machine on which I've setup Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat Enterprise 3 so I can't give you the details. However, one tip I can give is to change setup_stubs.sh in glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz so that you can see the errors being produced while rebuilding the client libraries.

Remove '>/dev/null' from line 73. Also remove '>/dev/null 2>&1' from lines 83 and 85.

This should give you an insight as to why there are '*0' backup files w/o relinked '*' files. Using the '*0' backup file is not going to solve your case as you are resorting to the file prior to patching thus negating the glibc-2.1.3 patch.

I'll post more when I have access to the RHE 3 machine.

HI Bart,

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,

janine

Hi
janine
you can get rid of some of the above errors

for  libgcc.a(_fixunssfdi.oS)
install gcc_old packages  the path will be /opt/gcc295  prepend this path to oracle path
and for ctxhx
the solution is to edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk and go to "INSO_LINK =", add a "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" to the line and save it.

i have been  trying to install  8.1.7 on suse 9.0
got the same errors

except  rdbms/lib/extproc: hidden symbol `stat64' in /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(stat64.oS) is referenced by DSO
every thing is fine ( at least i was able to get through)

i tried to link them manully by  relink <individual component>
every thing went smoothly
if i say relink all  it is throwing  stat64.oS error

any idea/suggestion how to get through this error

TIA
Madhu
