The error message in the "install.log" or "make.log" files should narrow
your choices down, but in general...
Underneath "$ORACLE_HOME" there are several ".mk" files, which are scripts
for the venerable UNIX "make" command. To find them, you can run the UNIX
"find" command as follows:
$ find $ORACLE_HOME -name "*.mk" -print
Within each product subdirectory under "$ORACLE_HOME" where a "lib"
subdirectory exists, there will usually be two ".mk" files: one prefixed
with "env_" and another prefixed with "ins_". For example, under the
"$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms" subdirectory, you'll find a "lib" subdirectory in which
resides an "env_rdbms.mk" file and an "ins_rdbms.mk" file. The "ins_*.mk"
script is the one you're interested in; it references "make" script
settings in the "env_*.mk" script, so in the end you're using both scripts
anyway, but the "ins_*.mk" script is the "top-level" one...
Within a "make" script there are "targets" defined, which describe how to
compile (if necessary! not always necessary) and link an executable.
Generally, Oracle defines an overall target called "install" to
compile/link/install all executed defined within, or it defines targets for
each specific executable (i.e. target "ioracle" performs compiles, links,
and file-movement for installation of the "oracle executable with the
"ins_rdbms.mk" script, etc).
To call make from the UNIX command-line to compile, link, and install a new
"oracle" executable, you'd run the following commands:
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle
If you were just going to "shotgun" both of the executables defined as part
of the "network" product for the server-side, you'd run something like:
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
$ make -f ins_net_server.mk install
...and "make" would compile/link/install the "tnslsnr" and the "lsnrctl"
executables...
The error messages you see from the "link phase" of Oracle software
installation in the "install.log" or "make.log" scripts come from these
"make -f ..." commands. Check the log files to find out exactly what
failed -- using the "shotgun" method can take a lot of time... :-)
Hope this helps...
