Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Urgent: Problem installing Oracle 817 on solaris8
I've been going through some of these problems on my home system. I picked
up a Sparc to run Solaris and Oracle 8.1.6 on, and ran into a bunch of
snags, this was only one.
Oracle relinks quite a few of the executables during the install process. It saves Oracle from having to ship CDs for different OS versions, etc.
A compiler is not necessary, but the linker is, which should be part of the standard install. Make sure that /usr/ccs/bin appears in your path before /usr/local/bin or where ever gcc is installed. If the Oracle Installer finds the GNU ld before the Solaris one it will try to relink the files using GNU header files rather than the Solaris ones. Which I've been told is bad, very bad.
Check the path first, Solaris default is pretty sparse unless someone has changed the default on your system.
Since I'm have a DBA/sysadmin background with no more programming than I could get away with, I will deny all knowledge of this email and the corresponding explanation of why it works unless one of the more capable gurus concurs <grin>.
Thanks

Nope, gcc does not work. To my dismay. For some reason (even if you copy gcc to /usr/ccs/bin, or make symbolic links) portions of the install simply will not work.

I think you can still install free gcc which is avilable in the net
which does exactly what you will be requiring to do with c or c++ atleast it
helps in completing the installation of oracle.
correct me if i am wrong,
Kamal
