Ran into the same problem.
Just download the Gcc (free compiler
Skunkware version) from SCO's web site. You need to copy it (rename it to cc) to satisfy the make for orainst. Funny, Oracle does not mention the need for the development system in the product documentation. Possibly in the release notes, but why do I want to buy an entire development system package just
to make a lousy listener fly. Funny also, you can crank the database without the
c compiler if you don't need to connect it to any clients! If I wanted to develop software , I would first want to develop a working installation program to replace the crap that Oracle provides!

The product does say:
Oracle7 Server Enterprise Edition
Version 7.3.4.0.0
for SCO Unix

Not:
Oracle7 Server Enterprise Edition
Version 7.3.4.0.0
for SCO Unix and Development System!

You'd think it would install on it's own two feet. Received on Tue Sep 01 1998 - 11:23:44 CDT
