All, I thought I'd share my recent experiences installing ARS 7 on SPARC Solaris. ARS 7 was built on the Oracle 10g 32-bit libraries. Unfortunately Oracle does not have a 32-bit 10g client for SPARC Solaris. They do have one for x86 Solaris, but it will not work. (Which leaves me to wonder how they certified this on this platform to start with).
If you attempt to install with the standard 64-bit 10g client, you'll get error messages similar to the following: 'ld.so.1: arserverd: fatal: /usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/libnnz10.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64' In order to have the installation complete, I downloaded the Oracle Instantclient from Oracle.com, along with all the add-ons. I extracted the instant client at the same level as the Oracle 10g client: /usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0 /usr/local/oracle/product/instantclient I then copied all the 'lib*' files from the instantclient directory to the /usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib directory, and re-ran the install. The installation completed without errors. It may be possible to just use the 'Instantclient' instead of the full- blown 10g client. I haven't tested yet, but theoreticaly, it should work. Hope this helps someone save some time and effort. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org
