Help with installing packages for Oracle 10g

[Geofrey Rainey]

The following information is how I build Oracle. The OS is a trimmed
down version of RHEL 5.0 x86_64, and I install the mandatory Oracle
packages like
So:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1
2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

yum install kernel-headers.x86_64 gcc-c++.x86_64 libstdc++-devel.x86_64
glibc-headers.x86_64 glibc-devel.i386 glibc-devel.x86_64 libgomp.x86_64
gcc.x86_64 compat-db.i386 compat-db.x86_64 compat-libstdc++-33.i386
compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64 libXp sysstat.x86_64 libaio.x86_64
libaio.i386 xorg-x11-xauth libXt.i386 libXt.x86_64 libXtst.i386
libXtst.x86_64

Hi Herta:

I tried the above.   There is a clear difference between the query
(above) 
and what I believe I have installed.  Either I've done everything, and 
CentOS/rpm -qa is wrong, or that something else I need to do is just 
eluding me, hense my plee to this list.   At the moment, the Oracle
piece 
is actually too advanced for this issue.   It really comes down to 
something more fundamental.

I may take you up on the idea of yum remove <package> and yum install 
<package> for those reporting as not being installed.

Scott
