INSTALL ORACLE 9.2.0.1 ON LINUX REDHAT PROBLEM

[ashley75]

I installed Oracle 9.2.0.1 on Linux Redhat 7.3 .0. Everything went fine untill Oracle run to Configuration Tools, it hangs there a long time so I cancelled it since it's optional but recommended.

So the installation finish and I could find anywhere on Linux to to get to the GUI tools of Oracle.

When I tried to log into SQL in the command line and I got the following errors:

[oracle@qhoulinux oracle]$ sqlplus /nolog
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I am aware of the problem on :

In order to properly relink the oracle software you should edit the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh script before the relink process starts. After the files start installing, open $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh file with your favorite editor (Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time before relink starts , find the line containing

LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
(line 147) and change it to
LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
Now all of the oracle software should relink properly.

Could someone please give me the instructions or at least tell me what happened here.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks

Hi,

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh.

Do you have full explanation online regarding the text that you paste here? At least I could read it. I dont know whether you have to run it after you edit.

Below is what I have in $ORACLE_HOME/$product/

#
# List the required symbols from a product's shrept.lst file
listf () {
product=$1
entryList=$ORACLE_HOME/$product/admin/shrept.lst
grep -v '#' $entryList | \
grep $product | \
awk '{ printf (" -u %s", $3); }'
}

#
# Main line starts here
#

#
# Explicit path to ensure that we're using the correct commands
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PATH

#
# each product _must_ provide a $PRODUCT/admin/shrept.lst
ErrFiles=
for product in rdbms precomp plsql ldap network
do
SHREPT=$ORACLE_HOME/$product/admin/shrept.lst
if [ ! -f $SHREPT ]
then
ErrFiles="$ErrFiles $SHREPT"
fi
done
if [ ! -z "$ErrFiles" ]
then
echo "genclntsh: Could not locate $ErrFiles" 1>&2
echo "genclntsh: exiting ..." 1>&2
exit 1

you must have done something wrong, I installed twice yesterday 9.2.0.1 succesfully in RedHat 7.3 without editing genclntsh at all

I had to edit $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk that's all

search in a file $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk for the INSO_LINK and added the $(LINKLDLIBS) to the end of the lib includes. From
"INSO_LINK = -Wl,-rpath,$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fi $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ch $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ut $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ex $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_da $(LLIBCTXHX) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)c $(CORELIBS)"
TO THIS --->
"INSO_LINK = -Wl,-rpath,$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fi $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ch $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ut $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ex $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_da $(LLIBCTXHX) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)c $(CORELIBS $(LINKLDLIBS)"

I dunno where did you get that text but it not correct, not for 9.2.0.1 anyways

That editing genclntsh in RedHat was meant for 9.0.1 and RedHat 7.1, 7.2

I just followed this docs :

http://staff.in2.hr/denis/oracle/901...l_rh73_en.html


Please let me know if you find anything and you recommend to fix my problems

thanks

[feroz]

ashley75,

that doc is for oracle 9.0.1. You are using other version. Can you follow pando method as he got it right at the end.

Hi Pando:

I am planning to install Oracle 9i ver. 2 on Linux 7.3 as well, possibly this weekend. However, I am not very confident about the whole endeavor since I am relatively new to IT, and know even less about Linux. I just want to learn Oracle on Unix/Linux since my company is an NT shop. Would you be kind enough and point me to the right place where I can get the installation doc/guide, as well as what loophole to avoid.

Thanks in advance for the help/advice.

Cheers

John
