Infrastructure Software

After getting the nice new x86_64 10gR2 release, I excitedly unpacked it and ran the installer (after just installing 10gR1 the other day). Everything went along nicely until it failed in linking 'INFO: - Linking liborasdkbase'. Operator error? It seems I had all the prerequisite packages installed. Also, I noticed there was a bin-utils bug noted earlier this year that generated the relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `_memcpy_mem_ops_method' can not be used' message, but I have no idea if that is relevant here.

Two relevant sections of the installer log file:

1. First, just above the final failure, I noticed there was a gcc usage error on libsrvm generation:

2. And... then the error that killed the build was running genorasdksh:
