Compiling on RH EL3/IA64

[Lars Ove Claesson]

Hi.

I hope this is the right list to post this kind of question. My apology
if this is not the case.

I'm having a serious problem installing Oracle AS 10g on my newly
installed RH EL3/IA64 box.
To me, though, it seems to be a more generic problem rather than a
problem related to Oracle.

I get the following during compilation:
---
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/home/oracle/as10g/infra//rdbms/lib/oracle] Error 1
---

It actually happens during compilation of the 8i database that is the
Metadata Repository in the AS, I believe.

So I've searched for crt1.o, and it is located in /usr/lib64/ and in
/usr/lib/ia64-redhat-linux7/lib/. They are completely different files,

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         8922 Mar  3  2004
/usr/lib/ia64-redhat-linux7/lib/crt1.o
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1776 Oct 22 10:05
/usr/lib64/crt1.o

I've tried creating a symlink into /usr/lib for the file (and the crti.o
and crtn.o, which the linker nags about next), from both locations. The
object-files located in the ia64-redhat-linux7-path are invalid,
according to the linker. When using the files from /usr/lib64/, I get

/usr/bin/ld: warning: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.2.3/../../../../lib/crt1.o' is
incompatible with i386 output

That figures, since Oracle wants to be compiled as 32-bit. But what to
do? I've installed all rpm's and packages that is necessary for Oracle,
and also run up2date to complete all updates.

The kernel version, if it helps, reads
Linux my.domain.xx 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL #1 SMP Wed Jan 12 23:25:36 EST 2005
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Would really appreciate any input!
