Problems to Install Oracle Client 10g over Red Hat AS 3.0update3

Wed Nov 16 14:45:03 UTC 2005

Hi Fabio,

[ please just call me Nick ;) ]

for the glibc and glibc-devel packages I ran up2date from the command line, this installed the 32 bit packages as the 64 bit packages were already installed when I installed the OS.

I also installed all the compat-* libs from the installation CD's.

I must stress that we are using RHAS4 and having just checked one of our servers I see that we did not have to install 2 versions of libstdc++, we just have the 64 bit version of libstdc++ installed.

Here is a list of the relevant RPM's I have installed -

compat-db-4.1.25-9
compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-47.3
compat-gcc-32-c++-3.2.3-47.3
compat-glibc-2.3.2-95.30
compat-glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.30
compat-libgcc-296-2.96-132.7.2
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3
glibc-2.3.4-2.13
glibc-2.3.4-2.13
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.13
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.13
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.13
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.13
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.87
libstdc++-3.4.3-9.EL4
libstdc++-devel-3.4.3-9.EL4

Good Luck,
Nick .
