Hello,

I am having the exact same issue as salmanucit. I am sure others will have this issue as well. Does anyone have additional information that will help?

Please advise. I have been stuck here for days... I have installed all of the packages needed.

Thank you.

Problem Description
-------------------

During the installation of Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1) on Linux,
the installation fails in the linking phase of context components.
You receive the following error:

Error in invoking target install of makefile $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk

The messages written in $ORACLE_HOME/install/make.log are:

/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'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ctxhx] Error 1


Solution Description
--------------------

Link line in $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk does not include '-ldl' option.
Modify the 'ins_ctx.mk' from

ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)

to

ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) -ldl $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)

and click Retry.


Explanation
-----------
Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1) is not certified on all distributions of Linux.
You are probably installing the product on a non-certified Linux. The
libdl.so is the Dynamic Loader library. On certified Linux distributions
with Oracle 9.2, there is no need to specify -ldl for linking of context
components.

bhattnirav,

Thank you for providing some feedback. I attempted to update the ins_ctx.mk file with your suggestions and hit "retry" but it still did not work.

However, the funny thing is, this is what my ins_ctx.mk file looks like:

ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ32)
$(LINK32) $(CTXHXOBJ32) $(INSO_LINK32)

instead of:

ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)

I am running this 10gR2 DB install from the 10201_database_Linux_x86_64.cpio file so I am assuming it is 64bit, on my 64bit Linux OS. However, the 32's at the end of the ctxhx: portion of ins_ctx.mk concern me.

Do you think it's possible that this install is trying to install 32bit versus 64bit?

Also, any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

[charlod]

davey23uk,
