I thought it was at 86%, but no matter. The error is because of a missing flag in the relevant makefile.

Leaving the error message displayed, open up a terminal, change to the ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib directory, and edit the ins_ctx.mk file. Towards the end of that file, you'll find a line that reads INSO_LINK=....

You need to add a flag, $(LDLIBFLAG)dl, as the third item in that line.

So instead of reading:

-L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa etc etc etc

...it should read

-L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)dl $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa

Save the file, go back to the error message, and click retry. Installation should then proceed to completion.
