Installation Problem: 9.2.0.1.0 on RedHat Linux 8.0

[Andrew Clarke]

I believe I've followed all the preparation steps, but when I get 79% of the
way through the "Linking Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0" part of the
installation, I get the following error:

Error in invoking target install of makefile
/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk

I've looked online and haven't been able to find anything to fix this
errror. Does anybody know what I can do?

Thanks a lot!
- Andrew Clarke.

I thought it was at 86%, but no matter. The error is because of a
missing flag in the relevant makefile.

Leaving the error message displayed, open up a terminal, change to the
ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib directory, and edit the ins_ctx.mk file. Towards
the end of that file, you'll find a line that reads INSO_LINK=....

You need to add a flag, $(LDLIBFLAG)dl, as the third item in that
line.

So instead of reading:

-L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa etc etc
etc

...it should read

-L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)dl $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca
$(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa

Save the file, go back to the error message, and click retry.
Installation should then proceed to completion.

Hi. Thank you very much for your response. I had actually read this
elsewhere and tried it out, except this line is included in env_ctx.mk. The
first line of ins_ctx.mk is include $(ORACLE_HOME)/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk so
maybe they recently moved this line to the other file?

If you have any other ideas, I'd really appreciate them!

Thanks again,
- Andrew.

You need to edit $(ORACLE_HOME)/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk, go to the line that
defines INSO_LINK and add the flag '$(LDLIBFLAG)dl', then hit "retry" on the
installer or relink manually via '/usr/bin/make -f ins_ctx.mk install
ORACLE_HOME=$(ORACLE_HOME)'

This happens when you don't use RedHat ES/AS as recommended by oracle.
You can try to add a -ldl to the appropriate place (the logfile will give
you an idea) or you can install the proper OS.

Lots of Greetings!

Thanks to you and "Quarkman" earlier. I'd tried this fix earlier but it
hadn't worked. However, I went back and realized that whatever text editor
I'd used at the time had inserted a couple newlines into that line when I
saved the file. I put it all back on 1 line and it worked great!

True. pico did that to me once, and stumped me for a while. That's why I use
(cough!) gedit for that particular edit now, because that simply wraps the
display, but doesn't insert extra line feeds.
