Thanks for your info. I have been scouring the net for days to figure out why I kept failing the System Utility ck, I realized it needed certain C+ utilities but was unsure how to remedy this.
Th Oracle Install notes do not cover this at all. They talk about post install issues concerning MS VC and gnu.
Anyway I installed without these and the install went fine and I have the app working.
So what exactly are these utilities uses for
thanks dan
