OAS 6.4 installation - prerequisite failure

Question

Installing OAS 6.4 in a server with Linux 8 OS, however it is failing in pre-requisite check for OS packages. Please let me know whether setting up rpm files will resolve or any additional steps required to fix this.

Error message:

Checking for gcc-c++-x86_64; Not found.            Failed

Checking for libstdc++-devel-x86_64; Not found.             Failed

If i skip and proceed am getting the below error message during preparation step.

"Error in checking for existence of link '/Oracle_Home/lib/libocci.so'. Path or buf points to an illegal address. Confirm that the location is a link and you have permissions to modify the link."

Note: JDK 1.8 and FMW infrastructure are installed successfully.
