Re: Installing Oracle 8i (8.1.6) on IRIX 6.5 (6.5.15m)

We have set the SGI_ABI env. That was one of the first things we changed before install ...

We'll try the mips3 reference approach. Does this mean we have to re-run the all those make files that failed with this error, manually? ... After the automated install is done?

Thanx for the info.
