RE: C compiler

I think I am going to contradict everybody else that has responded- especially if you are configuring RAC. In my opinion, you do need the xlC runtime environment (although not the full compiler), and will run into numerous glitches if you don't have it. The xlC runtime can be found with a huge amount of digging, and is downloadable for free - but here is the link because I know its darn hard to find otherwise:

Without this, CVU will fail, and the Oracle Installer will throw up some errors as well.

Is a C compiler now a pre-requisite for installing Oracle (on AIX)?
