Re: Linking during instllations

Note:131321.1

Relinking Oracle

Background:
Applications for UNIX are generally not distributed as complete executables. Oracle, like many application vendors who create products for UNIX, distribute individual object files, library archives of object files, and some source files which then get relinked at the operating system level during installation to create usable executables. This guarantees a reliable integration with functions provided by the OS system libraries.
