The relinking step as part of the Oracle Database installation assumes that a libpthread_nonshared.a library exists. Apparently, it doesn't use -lpthread as it should, and instead links against the individual files expected to be in the libpthread linker script. We should add a workaround to F29 for this by including an empty libpthread_nonshared.a in a compat subpackage. Failure during Oracle install looks like this: /usr/bin/make -f ins_rdbms.mk client_sharedlib ORACLE_HOME=/ora/db/ /ora/db/bin/genclntsh /usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib64/libpthread_nonshared.a genclntsh: Failed to link libclntshcore.so.12.1 This affects Oracle 12cR2.
F29 build with fix (glibc-2.28-10.fc29): https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=29494174 Rawhide build with fix (glibc-2.28.9000-5.fc30): https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=29494170
The fix is to provide a compat-libpthread-nonshared subpackage with the right *.a in the right place. This way Oracle install instructions can say to just install this package.
Please provide instructions on how I can get this fix. I've added the updates repo and installed "dnf update glibmm24.x86_64", but that didn't work. Where is it bundled? Need it to install the Oracle database. Thank you!

That worked for me. Oracle Database installed now.
(In reply to Asa Welle from comment #6) > That worked for me. Oracle Database installed now. Great. Thank you so much for testing Oracle Database on Fedora. We need more such third-party software testing.
