OAS 6.4 installation - prerequisite failure
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.

There are some pre-requisites at the OS level that needs to be met before OAS install/config.
You need to ensure all pre-reqs are met for all the libraries and proceed installing OAS. You may need to work with the OS admins and ensure that
The below might help to some extent, to resolve most of the libraries, if not all of them.
yum install -y oracle-database-preinstall-19c

The OAS installer doesn't install any OS prerequisite, but they are all documented and it's your job to make sure they are all set.
The DB preinstall package mentioned above will install many more things and also change a number of settings in your environment.
You should look in the doc for the minimum list of requirements and install what is needed.
For OL8 this list of packages should be quite accurate:
binutils gcc gcc-c++ glibc glibc-devel libaio libaio-devel libgcc libstdc++ libstdc++-devel libnsl sysstat motif motif-devel redhat-lsb redhat-lsb-core openssl make xorg-x11-utils compat-libgfortran-48

By the way: installing OAS 6.4 now? OAS 2023 (aka 7.0) has been released, do you really want to miss a full year of features? You just need to replace the OAS install file, everything else is exactly the same (patches as well are almost all the same, the main difference is that OAS 2023 doesn't have a bundle patch so far because it has been released a week ago).

As reference, if you want the details of the requirements to install OAS, you can check this: https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/12.2.1.4/sysrs/system-requirements-and-specifications.html
It's the requirements for installing the Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4, which is the base on top of which you install OAS. It isn't always easy to track all the documents covering all these things, mainly because it's in different documents ...

To add: OAS 2023, does not require the workaround.
