Not able to launch GUI based Installer on Linux machine.

Hello friends,

Please try to provide a solution for this question below. I've tried a set of things with no improvement.

When i tried to launch 2012 installer using GUI based command , it gives the following error message :-

PATH :- /u01/app...../../StartGUI.sh

Error:-

Script TMPDIR="."
Script dir="./inst"
Current operating system:"Linux"
Release="RedHatEnterpriseServer"
DSY_OS="linux_a64"
DSY_LIBPATH_VARNAME="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
DSY_LIBPATH_VARNAME_value="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
./inst/linux_a64/code/bin/DSYInsSetupUI: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It is Observerd that ( but not sure ):-

[root@CEXXXXXI /]# find . | grep libXm.so*

./u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/stubs/libXm.so
./u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/stubs/libXm.so.3

it is looking for = > ./u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/stubs/libXm.so.4.

I tried soft linking libXm.so.3 with libXm.so.4 but it doesn't help. Also tried downloading Openmotif and installing, its asking for many dependency packages. The following packages are also reported to be missing:-

libXp.so.6(64 bit)

libXmu.so.6

libXp.so.6

libXmu-devel

When i try to download and run rpm on these, it gives dependency problem. And these dependencies seem to be deadlocked. I don not understand how i can go about it..

You don't say what version/distro of Linux you're doing this on, so it's hard to be specific. Short answer is, it looks like you're missing part of your X windows installation, specifially the Openmotif libraries. Again, you don't mention version/distro of Linux, so can't tell you which package, or how to download/install it.

And since this is an Oracle issue....have you called Oracle support, since you're paying for it?

Hello friend,

Thank you for your reply. The machine is a redhat 5.3 version. I tried downloading and installing Openmotif but it fails. Below is the output of trying to install the rpm package.

Code:

[root@CESRHDEI motif]# rpm -i openmotif-2.3.2-5.1.svn.fc12.ccrma.x86_64.rpm

warning: openmotif-2.3.2-5.1.svn.fc12.ccrma.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signatu

 NOKEY, key ID 68d9802a

error: Failed dependencies:

        rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by openmotif-2.3.2-5.1.svn.fc1

crma.x86_64

Also i haven't contacted oracle because i assume this is a missing OS package case. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Thanks..

Before applying the patch, You have to read the release notes for the patch?. The below mentioned shared objects are the mandatory libraries related to "libXP" for running oracle GUI installer. Install the LibXP libraries and again start the installation with the script.

libXp.so.6(64 bit)
libXmu.so.6
libXp.so.6
libXmu-devel

Thanks & Regards

It COULD be, but could also be resolved via Oracle's support, since they provide some things like this on their installation media. There may be a way to use what they ship you.

Since you're using RHEL, you should contact RedHat support then, for system packages. And don't install them with "rpm -i", use "yum install <package>", which will resolve the dependencies for you, and install them. Since you're paying for RHEL support, they can walk you through all this.

Dear prodev05,

could you please let me know where i can find these packages? Because i tried to install all available rpms on the OS DVD which start with openmotif and Lib* but all of them either already installed or have dependancy issues. This may sound silly.. please also tell me how can i get the missing LibXm packages. I do not want to contact RHEL or Oracle support since it may be frowned upon :)

Thanks,
Darshan

You have to go to rpm.pbone.net or rpm.org and download rpm's by comparing the shared objects.

If you are just practicing for your learning then no problem. Because it would take more time to solve the library dependencies.(take hell lot of time :P but a good learning)

Else I would advice you to buy a RHEL License.( you can fix the issue within time frame):)

Best Regards,

Why, exactly, would it be 'frowned upon' to contact tech support, when you're PAYING FOR IT???

Seriously, if you've got RHEL and Oracle, you've got support for both. You could have had this fixed within half an hour with one phone call....I'd frown more upon someone taking two days to fix a problem that could have been resolved in, at most, an hour.

Yes you're right.. I've called RHEL support to come and fix it. Thanks TB0ne
