Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.1
IBM AIX 6.1


Hi


I need to install Oracle 11gR2 on IBM AIX 6.1. As per installation guide, the following requirements are to be met.


The following is the compiler requirement for ProC/C++, Oracle Call Interface, Oracle C++ Call Interface, and Oracle XML Developer's Kit (XDK) with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2):*

IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition for AIX, V9.0 April 2008 PTF:+

Note:

Even if you do not install the IBM XL C/C++ compiler, you require the compiler for AIX Runtime Environment Component. The runtime environment file sets can be downloaded with no license requirements. The minimum recommended runtime environment for AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 is available at the following URL:

IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V10.1 Runtime Environment


When I check on system, I get the following output.


$ lslpp -l |grep XL




vac.aix52.lib 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED XL C for AIX Libraries for AIX
vacpp.cmp.rte 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED IBM XL C/C++ Compiler

xlsmp.msg.en_US.rte 1.7.0.0 COMMITTED XL SMP Runtime Messages - U.S.



Does this mean I am good to go for installation ?

I have never worked in AIX environment, so I cannot figure out exactly. There are so many XL Packages in the output and I don't see Enterprise Edition specifically.


2) And is gcc package absolutely necessary for database installation on AIX 6.1?
