Symptoms

When installing CRS using runInstaller, get an error when doing "linking oracle net required
support files 10.2.0.1":

error in invoking target 'ntcontab.o' of makefile
'/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/network/lib/ins_net_client.mk'.

make.log shows:

/usr/bin/make -f ins_net_client.mk mkldflags ORACLE_HOME= 
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs//usr/bin/make -f ins_net_client.mk ntcontab.o ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/rm -f ntcontab.*

mv: cannot stat `ntcontab.o': No such file or directory 
/usr/bin/ar: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/lib/ntcontab.o: No such file or directory 
make: *** [ntcontab.o] Error 1

Changes

New installation.

Cause

The output of the link command shows that the compiler is looking for sys/types.h.
Package glibc-headers-* is not installed which cause header file (/usr/include/sys/types.h) missing on the system.

Solution

Install the missing package glibc-headers-* (ie, glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.13).

Reinstall CRS (recommended) after clean up existing installation per Note 239998.1 10g RAC: How to Clean Up After a Failed CRS Install 
or 
Execute commands in $ORA_CRS_HOME/install/make.log manually for client relink.
