Symptoms

While installing the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 (32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) database software on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) server  (x86 or x86-64),
the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) reports that packages "elfultils-libelf-devel-0.97" and "pdksh-5.2.14" are missing.

In the installActions.log the following output can be observed:

:

Cause

OUI executes the following command:

/bin/rpm -q --qf %{version} redhat-release

and no output is returned (because in RHEL6 the package redhat-release has been replaced by redhat-release-server-6Server).

This causes OUI to believe that the server is not a RHEL server.

As OUI can not identify what type of server it is, OUI performs the default (OEL4) prerequisite checks.

This problem has been logged as unpublished bug 13981169 with Oracle Development.

In addition to this, no RHEL6 prerequisite checks are defined in <path>/database/stage/cvu/cvu_prereq.xml in the 11.2.0.3 media.

Solution

If you have received the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 media on DVD,
it will be necessary to copy the media from the DVD to a disk on the RHEL6 server.
If you have downloaded the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 media from My Oracle Support (MOS) then you extract first the software.

Once the software is copied/extracted under  <path>/database, do the following:

1. Change directory to <path>/database/stage/cvu/cv/admin
2. Backup cvu_config

% cp cvu_config backup_cvu_config

3. Edit cvu_config and change the following line:

CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL4

to:

CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6

4. Save the updated cvu_config file
5. Install the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 software using <path>/database/runInstaller

% cd <path>/database
% ./runInstaller

OUI should now perform the OEL6 prerequisite checks (which are identical to the RHEL6 prerequisite checks) and
no longer report that packages "elfutils-libelf-devel-0.97" and "pdksh-5.2.14" are missing.

 

ATTENTION :

About the 32 bit version of soft (x86), in case the problem remains then :

- restore the original cvu_config file 

- after manually verifying that all of the requirements have been met,
choose the 'Ignore all' option in the installer and continue with the installation.
