Re: 9iAS on Redhat 7.3

I realise that Oracle does not support any Oracle product on 7.3, but current circumstances mean that is what I have to work with.

I have managed to get Oracle 8.1.7v3 working on their correctly without any issues after a little patching of the Linux environment.

ANyway back to 9iAS, I have managed to install it and all works until the linking phase of the setup where i start to encounter a few problems.

1. "Error in invoking target install of makefile $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/lib/ins_sqlplus.mk"

This I fixed by - Edit $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and remove the line that says LD_SELF_CONTAINED, then Execute the newly edited file (It creates $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so).

2. Error in invoking target install of makefile

/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk

This I fixed by Edit $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk and go to "INSO_LINK =", add a "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" to the line and save it.

3. "Error in invoking target install of make file

/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk"

This is where I get stuck, I have looked around and have found a few ntoes on this regarding 9i (not 9iAS) on Redhhat 9, involving Downgrading glibc, glibc-common, and glibc-devel (I assume then it would be actually upgrading for RH7.3), but I have not tried this yet.

As a result, the rest of the installation is succesful until Oracle attampts to start its services, here I find that most of them fail (is this dues solely to the ins_oemagent.mk error or other factors like it being RH7.3?)

Also I find that if I then try to start Oracle Enterprise Manager via Konqueror 3.0 I also get an error indicating that "your browser or operating system is not supported..."

I have looked at the link that was supplied:

http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml

But it is for 9i not 9iAS.

Has anyone managed to successfully set this up on RH 7.3?
