You've expressed the concept far more clearly than I did, obviously :-) Cheers Damian -----Original Message----- From: Mauro Souza [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 23 April 2010 17:00 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Oracle 10.2.0 Install David, I think the idea here is provide an "fake" rpm which depends on the same dependencies as Oracle DB do. So, installing this "oracledeps-fake-virtual-10.2.0.2.rpm" will install the dependencies, and you will be able to install Oracle without having to check manually gcc, libgcc, openmotif, libaio, etc... And this is a good idea. Mauro http://mauro.limeiratem.com - registered Linux User: 294521 Scripture is both history, and a love letter from God.
