Libraries missing while installing Oracle 11.2g on Oracle Linux 6.2

user8999602

Hi,

i just installed oracle linux 6.2 and started to isntall Oracle 11.2g server.
so first i installed the yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall_
but when i run the prerequisite check on OUI it shows some libraries missing. the issue is that the libraries are installed but the version doesn't match.

ex: when i query rpm -q libaio it shows that i have installed libaio-0.3.107 but in OUI it shows that libaio-0.3.105 is missing.

is this normal or should i go and install also the previous versions of the missing libraries?

what I do is to simply create a softlink from desired name to the existing version; as below

ln -s libaio-0.3.107 libaio-0.3.105

Hi;

What below query return?
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n" | grep package_here

I'm facing the same issue. This might sound so simple; but... where do I need to create this softlink? may I execute that command (ln -s libaio-0.3.107 libaio-0.3.105) in any place?

cd into the directory where libaio-0.3.107 resides now

ln -s {real_file} {alias_name}

Thanks for your quick response... but;that's the problem... I don't know what path/directory should I use... I know that the RPM is installed:

Summary : Linux-native asynchronous I/O access library
Description :
The Linux-native asynchronous I/O facility ("async I/O", or "aio") has a
richer API and capability set than the simple POSIX async I/O facility.
This library, libaio, provides the Linux-native API for async I/O.
The POSIX async I/O facility requires this library in order to provide
kernel-accelerated async I/O capabilities, as do applications which
require the Linux-native async I/O API.

I was using a similar command (find / -name "libaio*" 2>/dev/null). However, This is what I get:

# find / -name libaio\* -print 2>/dev/null

I can't find any libaio-0.3.107 beside the one located on the Oracle Linux 6.2 DVD...

Thank you for you help and time. I really appreciate it

ok guys, I think I have found the solution: Some packages can usually be ignored since de OUI does not recognise newer packages:

packages that can be ignored:
libaio-0.3.105 (i386)
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 (i386)
libaio-devel-0.3.105 (i386)
libgcc-3.4.6 (i386)
libstdc++-3.4.6 (i386)
unixODBC-2.2.11 (i386)
unixODBC-devel-2.2.11 (i386)
pdksh-5.2.14
