Re: Oracle 8.1.6 mmap problem (ld error)

Check for write permission for oracle user account in directory specified by TMPDIR env var. The doc mentions permissions, but I missed it!

I was getting make errors repeatedly while installing 8.1.5 on Solaris 8/Intel. I checked and re-checked my kernel mods, new groups and the oracle user account, environment variables, etc.

Finally by poring through the make log file I found an unreported problem with writing to my TMPDIR directory. Per the installation instructions I had set TMPDIR pointing to a filesystem with lots of space on it. But I didn't think to check that the "oracle" user account could write to that directory! So I added write permission to my TMPDIR directory and I am just now finally getting past the make stage successfully. Hooray!

Hope this helps,
Darrell
