    hi,

    When i was trying to install oracle8i on solarsis 2.8(sparc), the linking failed,
    throwing an error.. make utility not found.
    What is this make utility all about and why is this required. If it is not present by default on solaris, how to install it
    Can any body put some light on this.

    Regards
    sonia

    make sure you have
    /usr/ccs/bin
    in your path. If you have /usr/ucb/bin in your path make sure this comes _after_ /usr/ccs/bin.

    Also make sure that you set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    Refer to the installation docs to make sure you are setting all the required environment variables and PATH.

    Hello Sonia

    The problem is becuase make is not installed on your computer and you are unable to relink the oracle excutables.Please go to sun website or as your system administrator to install the make utility.

    without installing the make utility you cannot install oracle.

    regards

    the makefile is a file that lists all of the other files (libaries, header files) that the oracle binary (and other programs) need to run. Instructions on how to "make" the oracle executable.

    On Solaris if you go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and run
    ldd oracle
    you will see all the dynamic libraries that oracle program is linked to.

    If you have ever configured RMAN in Oracle 8.0.x to work with Veritas you have to create a link in $O_H/lib to Veritas's libobk.so file. then run

    $O_H/rdbms/lib/make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle

    after this is successful you can do a ldd oracle and see the new libobk.so file "linked" into the oracle executable. Now the oracle program can talk to the Veritas program through the libobk.so library.

    hope this helps,
    Andrew
