Hai ;


YUM vs RPM

Are they used to install only software packages ????
which is most easier to Oracle DBA level ????
may i know difference between " RPM and PACKAGES "
i mean easier to identify ???

For ex
dir statrs wirh d
File starts with -

** Always i am using ISO images **

===============================================================

While i install oracle 10g on redhat linux few weeks before :

From RedHat AS4 Disk 3

cd /media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
rpm -Uvh openmotif-2*
rpm -Uvh compat-db-4*
rpm -Uvh libaio-0*
rpm -Uvh gcc-3*

command executed like this

** here i know disc no
** then i execute required PAckages..

===============================================================

In OEL how can i know disc no to install libaio-0.3.96;

Which OS are you using ? ? AS 4 ? ( AS4 was obsoleted February 2012.)

libaio-0.3.96 is a package from the old EL 3.

@thiyagusham: To quote from my professor, "rpm is like eating stuff from your fridge. You know it is there and you get it and eat it, unless you find that the food is very old and you can't, . [in this case, the rpm you have downloaded does not support your kernel ]" "yum is like ordering your pizza, you choose your shop, they then make your pizza based on your order [in this case, your OS kernel level, supported package available for your distribution...]

nom nom nomm.. yum yum.. :P

I got it. thanks to you. RPM's are loaded by default while installing LINUX.
I checked my linux version . libaio not loaded.
Already i installed redhat linux 5 successfully.

Thanks and Regards

@ knudfi
Thank you for your reply. Given link ... is it working ???? I cant capture anything from that link ...

Thank you

If my understanding is correct, you found a libaio that you have downloaded is for RHEL5 kernel, if yes, then please go ahead and install the same.

Rpms simply put are Pre-built modules. When you install a rpm, the files placed or extracted by the rpm is recognized by your kernel.

ya .. Thanks ... I am reading but i need to mention i need information just as oracle DBA level .
but given information's are much what i expected ... Thanks ...

# 6

Just follow the link to ...
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/lin...os/i386/SRPMS/
.. and http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/lin...3.96-3.src.rpm
→ → libaio-0.3.96-3.src.rpm, which is the source code package.
( rpmbuild --rebuild libaio-0.3.96-3.src.rpm will provide libaio-0.3.96-3<arch>.rpm for EL 5 ).

But may be the EL 5 package will do ? ( libaio-0.3.106-5 ).
→ # yum install libaio

.

implies RHEL4 as per post #3....

Can you run the following cmds so that we can see exactly what you have

" Continuously i am facing failure oracle 10g installation on ORACLE Enterprise Linux. "

I could n't install LIBAIO rpm. Can anyone say what mistake i made ???? . I shared liabio package from windows to linux.


[root@dhcppc1 ~]# cd /tmp
[root@dhcppc1 tmp]# cd /mnt
[root@dhcppc1 mnt]# cd hgfs
[root@dhcppc1 hgfs]# ls -l
total 4
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8192 May 11 20:27 libaio
[root@dhcppc1 hgfs]# cd libaio/
[root@dhcppc1 libaio]# rpm -ivh libaio-0.3.105-2.i386.rpm
error: open of libaio-0.3.105-2.i386.rpm failed: No such file or directory

Libaio package contains :

RPM maintains a database of all installed packages in /var/lib/rpm/*

I cant check my terminal "

Well, for one, I am unable to see libaio-0.3.105-2.i386.rpm in your ls -l. I can see devel and debug rpms for the libaio, but not libaio-0.3.105-2.i386.rpm

Also, one more thing "44847444 May 11 19:19 Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.4 Movie.avi" Must have been a good movie

Ok. I am not familiar with Host Guest File System. Just Install WinSCP on your windows box and provide you linux ip in the login screen and transfer the libaio file to your /tmp dir in rhel 4 and try to do a rpm -vhi libaio*
