Re: Failing to install Oracle under Redhat would SUSE be more easy ?

Sir,

I manage to get the installer up and running. But at the end of the installation, I get errors like with the error message like "Error in invoking target install of makefile" like the files

<$Oracle_HOME>/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk

<$Oracle_HOME>/rdbms/lib/precomp/ins_precomp.mk

etc.....

Have you encounter this problems?

Thanks
Desmond
