Trying to install 11G on Ubuntu AMD64. All goes well except a single linker error of target all_no_orcl of makefile ../rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk

gcc -m32 -o /db/orcl11/db/rdbms/lib/extproc32 -L/db/orcl11/db/rdbms/lib32/ -L/db/orcl11/db/lib32/ -L/db/orcl11/db/lib32/stubs/ /db/orcl11/db/rdbms/lib32/hormc.o /db/orcl11/db/rdbms/lib32/homts.o -lagtsh -lpthread -lclntsh `cat /db/orcl11/db/lib32/sysliblist` -Wl,-rpath,/db/orcl11/db/lib32 -lm `cat /db/orcl11/db/lib32/sysliblist` -ldl -lm -L/db/orcl11/db/lib32
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lagtsh
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm really confused because libagtsh.so is in ../lib32 and should get picked up I think.

Any ideas?

Thanks -- yes.

Looking on the web, these linker errors are a longstanding issue, no doubt a result of a tactical decision to mix compiles of 32 and 64 bit systems. I've tried everything I can think of to track down the cause to no avail. Certainly, of the many suggestions made on Metalink and elsewhere, none seem to work at least in this case.

No doubt the issue is a library not installed or not on the correct path. I just can't seem to find my way to a solution.

In my installation the libagtsh.so is a link to libagtsh.so.1.0 which is not there...

Maybe that helps ?

Hi, download the 32bit version of 11g extract the zip file and open the database/stage/Components/oracle.rdbms.util/11.1.0.6.0/1/DataFiles/filegroup14.jar file. Inside you will find the 32bit version of libagtsh.so. Put it in the /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/lib32 directory.

Thanks for that, this has been driving me mad for around a week.

I followed your advice and installed all gcc 32 bit installers and have just completed an error free installation.

I do get 3 package warnings during the check, but ignored these as I think they are 10.0 packages and the 10.3 pacakages have different names.

I 've now managed to get 11g working on Gutsy x86_64. I did it the following way:
When a link fails I looked into ORACLE_HOME/install/make.log and copy the last make to a shell. Then I added -L/usr/lib32 after the gcc -m32. Then clicked on Retry and repeat the procedure for the next error. So I do not loose some 32 bit things that may be important for some functionality.

I think I have a simpler solution:
assuming your /usr/bin/gcc link to /usr/bin/gcc-4.1, do:
mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc.orig

create a new /usr/bin/gcc, to be the following script:
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "-m32" ]; then
gcc-4.1 -L/usr/lib32 $*
else
gcc-4.1 $*
fi

When installation completes, remove the scripts and replace it which the original symlink.
It's a hack, but it'll work, saving you the hassle of manually linking oracle libs.

I am using ubuntu 64bit, I was having the same problems you guys were having. when i added the 32bit path I find a different probelm.

Im assuming that agtsh can't be found? if so where can i get it ?
