I am trying to install a trial version of Oracle Workgroup Server on SCO Unix. I have to say I am very disappointed. Not only does the installation not work, but it appears that the only support one can get from Oracle is fee based. Anyway, I will ask the question here and hope that someone can help me.

As I said, I have the trial version of Oracle Workgroup Server v7.3 that I downloaded from Oracle's web site. I am trying to install it on SCO Unix 5.0.4. I see no indication of this version in the installation instructions. It appears that none of the required patches apply to this version, however I did install the SCO supplement rs504b. Also, I had to install the SCO Linker and App Development Libraries so that the linker could find some object files when the install routine tried to link the TNS listener, Oracle Names and Oracle executables.

I am still getting linker errors when the install routine tries to link the Oracle executables. Here are some excerpts from the make.log file.

Action: Linking oracle.
Command: (make -f ins_rdbms.mk ORACLE_HOME=/usr/oracle7 ioracle), Out=/usr/oracle7/orainst/make.log, Err=/usr/oracle7/orainst/make.log {

Sorry that this message is so long, but I wanted to get in all the detail. I would appreciate any help that I can get.

Thanks,
