Bug 64844

Try removing -z defs from Oracle makefiles or add dynamic linker (/lib/ld-linux.so.2)
to the linker commands using -z defs for shared libraries.

I'm not sure is this related to the initial bug report, but I have following
situation:

I have Red Hat Linux 7.3 freshly installed. I installed Oracle 9i Release 1 for
Linux (version 9.1.0.1.0). However, installing Oracle 9i Release 2 for Linux
(version 9.2.0.1.0) fails.

Oracle error report says:

Error in invoking target install of makefile /var/oracle/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk

When manually trying to do "make install" in that directory using makefile
mentioned above, following error appears:

[...]
mv ctxsrv  /var/oracle/bin/ctxsrv
chmod 751 /var/oracle/bin/ctxsrv
gcc -o ctxhx -L/var/oracle/ctx/lib/ -L/var/oracle/lib/ -L/var/oracle/lib/stubs/

/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_vsym@GLIBC_PRIVATE'

Removing -z defs from makefiles before linking phase did not help.

"I have Red Hat Linux 7.3 freshly installed. I installed Oracle 9i Release 1 for
Linux (version 9.1.0.1.0). However, installing Oracle 9i Release 2 for Linux
(version 9.2.0.1.0) fails."

Probably better to clarify this a bit: I installer 9iRel1 succesfully on a
RH7.3. Installing 9iRel2 to the same kind of environment (not the machine
already running 9iRel1) fails.

Errors during the Relink Phase of the Install 

During the "Link Phase" of the install, you will get an error while trying to 
make/install CTX. (The same issue exists in 9.0.1 on RedHat Linux). 
The following errors will exist in $ORACLE_HOME/install/make.log 

/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `__ctype_b_loc' 
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_addr@GLIBC_PRIVATE' 
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_open@GLIBC_PRIVATE' 
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_close@GLIBC_PRIVATE' 
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_sym@GLIBC_PRIVATE' 
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_vsym@GLIBC_PRIVATE' 
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 
make: *** [ctxhx] Error 1 


This error occurs when the following is executed: 

/usr/bin/make -f ins_ctx.mk install ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0 

Solution 

The solution is to edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk and go 
to "INSO_LINK =", add a "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" to the line and save it. 

Here is the full line with the added "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" flag: 

INSO_LINK = -L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)dl $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca 
$(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ex $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_da $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ut 
$(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ch $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fi $(LLIBCTXHX) $(LDLIBFLAG)c -Wl,-
rpath,$(CTXHOME)lib $(CORELIBS) $(COMPEOBJS)

RHL 7.3 is not supported anymore, closing.
