locating and installing packages
Recently installed Oracle Linux to host Oracle BI. Going through the BI software requirements, we have a list of software packages that are required. running 'rpm -q -a' to get a list of all installed packages, I see that I am missing several. Where do l locate the missing packages and where should they be placed on my system in order to install them with rpm? For instance, following the instruction in the BI installation guide, I get the following:
[root]# rpm -q -a |grep compat-db >> package_list;view package_list
[root]# rpm -ivh sysstat-4.0.7-4.EL3.3
error: open of sysstat-4.0.7-4.EL3.3 failed: No such file or directory
my system is :
[root]# uname -a
Linux <mask server name> 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 5 23:25:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Also ...
Another item in the software requirements says 'If the hugemem kernel is used .....'
So, how do I determine if it that applies to me?
