I was installing Oracle client 12.2 in RHEL version mentioned above. Installer notified that the following pre-requisite packages need to be installed (screenshot)
If I am not mistaken those gcc packages are GNU C++ compilers which are very critical.
Since I don't have root or sudo login to execute yum install , I chose ignore all and proceeded with the installation. The installation completed successfully .
Well, I couldn't run OracInst.sh as root for creating oraInventory. But, binaries like sqlplus , exp are working fine. So, these pre-requisite packages are not actually mandatory ?
