Linux, Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 and glibc-2.3.1
385182Jan 10 2003 — edited Jan 10 2003I have problems installing with this combination. To start with, the jre that executes the installer will not run. (see e.g. discussion: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2002-04/msg00143.html).
If I patch my libc to keep these symbols I get a problem when linking during the install: (in $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib)
make -f ins_oemagent.mk ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME install
This outputs a lot of errors about undefined references to __ctype_b and __ctype_toupper
(e.g. /opt/oracle/oracle-9.2.0.1.0/home/network/lib/libnmi.a(nmijs.o): In function `nmijsgn_GetNextTime':
nmijs.o(.text+0x3552): undefined reference to `__ctype_b'
)
These symbols exist in my libc, so I can only guess they are binary incompatible.
Anyway I'm reverting back to glibc-2.2.5 to do some work.
