Install Problem - Oracle10g Db On Suse Enterprise Linux 10

Hello,

I try to install Oracle10g Release 1 and Release 2 on Suse Enterprise Linux10.
I have Xeon Intel Processor Dual Core 64 bit, 64 bit Suse and 64 bit Oracle installer.

I started ./runInstall in the concole as oracle user.
When oracle started linked database I have some errors:
This error message in oracle log:

INFO: Start output from spawned process:
INFO: ----------------------------------
INFO:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
INFO: genclntsh: Failed to link libclntsh.so.10.1
INFO: make: *** [client_sharedlib] Error 1

Have someone a idea?

thanks

IIRC the free version is only available in 32-bit and so will require 32-bit utilities and libraries to work. Those may not appear as dependencies so you have to resolve manually. Try running the installer under linux32, i.e. linux32 ./runInstall

I have server with xeon 64 bit processor and I buy Suse linux enterprise server 10 in 64 bit version.

Yeah, but the free Oracle software is 32-bit only.

Follow this guide:

It applies to 64-bit 10gR2 on 64-bit SLES 10 as well.
