Hi, I ran into some errors while installing Oracle Grid Control on RHEL 5.4. I believe I need to install some packages. Where is the right place to download packages for RHEL? I would prefer binary code. Also, I downloaded a source file somewhere. Can you please tell me how to build and install it? Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Your source file was in tar format ?
Well u first need to untar it :
Code:
tar -xf filename
Navigate to the newly created folder after the execution of above command.
Run :
Code:
./configure
make
su
make install
Are these complete set of commands? Is there any response needed if you run the command set? The reason I am asking is that I need to put them in shell script file and use sudo to execute the file. I don't have root power.

Yes, they are complete set of commands for installing source.
No, these commands do not need any user response.
Is it necessary for u to put them in script ? You can directly run them.

My sudo is limited to run a specific SHELL script. So I neeed to put all commands in the script. I am DBA. I am doing that to avoid bothing the server team, which takes for weekd to response.
