Re: Oracle 8i install fails during link on Sun Solaris 7

Mathew,

Oddly enough, the installer is able to perform some of the linking but fails many times. I believe the failures are listed in the file called $ORACLE_HOME/product/8.1.6/install/make.log. It is interesting that you suggested to check the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. In previous versions of Oracle, that was a variable that always needed to be set. In the Installation Guide for 8i, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is only mentioned once in the context of the Pro*COBOL Precompiler. Do you know if it needs to be set for Oracle 8i?
