SuSE Linux 7.1 has been certified with Oracle 8.1.7 and this patch (made by Oracle) weeks ago. They promised to have it available online by now. I'm in Germany on vacation, so I can't follow up with them... PLEASE also see http://www.suse.de/en/support/oracle/ ========================= Installation Instructions ------------------------- Install Oracle as usual, but choose not to create the database during install. Once installation is complete, place the tar file glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz in $ORACLE_HOME. Make sure ORACLE_HOME is set in your environment. Then carry out the following steps: cd $ORACLE_HOME tar xvfz glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz cat lib/libc.so.tmp | sed -e "s%replace-me-with-oraclehome%$ORACLE_HOME%g" > lib/libc.so cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk client_sharedlib install COMMENT: The replace-me-with-oraclehome is just a string. Just run the command! ONLY if you choose to do it MANUALLY should you actually DO what it says - in the libc.so.tmp file. You should now be able to use Oracle as usual. Make sure the file lib/libc.so you created with the cat/sed pipe command above contains the _real_ ORACLE_HOME (and not a variable!) before you continue! An _unrelated_ bug (the bundled IBM JRE 1.1.8 has problems with the locale (language) settings). BEFORE starting the runInstaller do a "unset LANG" to unset the environment variable LANG. ================ Warning ---------------- Make sure the directory $ORACLE_HOME/lib is not listed in your /etc/ld.so.conf. The system could potentially become unstable after applying this patch in that case. If $ORACLE_HOME/lib is currently listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, remove it and run ldconfig before applying this patch. ================ Revision History ---------------- 06-FEB-2001: added ldconfig warning to README 08-FEB-2001: added libnsl.so stub needed for OPS cm/nm -- �Desea desuscribirse?
