I'm trying to install Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Fedora 8 x86_64. I initially tried the 32bit version as I already had it downloaded from installing other machines. When I try to install that I get the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /oracle/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/d
b_1/lib/libxml10.a when searching for -lxml10
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml10
I assumed that was because it's trying to link to a 64 bit executable with 32 bit libraries. So I decided I should use the x86_64 version. When I try to install that I get the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `/oracle/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/snmccolm.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
...snip...
INFO: make: *** [nmccollector] Error 2
Where I wrote "...snip..." there were lots more errors that are the same but with different files.
I have several questions:
- Has anyone successfully installed Oracle on Fedora 8 x86_64? If so, how?
- Is there anything blindingly obvious that I'm missing, like packages that should be installed before running the Oracle installer? I think I've got everything off the list in the Oracle documentation.
Thanks
