Since Oracle 8.1.6.1 is linked against glibc-2.1.3 and Red Hat 7.0 ships with glibc-2.1.9x, Oracle 8.1.6.1 fails to

start on RedHat Linux 7.0 after relinking.

Possible Symptoms are:

Starting up the database fails with ORA-3113 after some time spent looping in semop() and a core file is

generated. The stack trace taken with GDB is the following:

#0 0x404c74e1 in __kill ()

#1 0x8469156 in slcra ()

#2 0x846cd01 in ssexhd ()

#3 0x4048ed60 in pthread_sighandler

#4 <signal handler called>

#5 0x846cd12 in ssexhd ()

#6 0x4048ed60 in pthread_sighandler

#7 <signal handler called>

#8 0x846cd12 in ssexhd ()

#9 0x4048ed60 in pthread_sighandler

#10 <signal handler called>

#11 0x846cd12 in ssexhd ()

#12 0x4048ed60 in pthread_sighandler

#13 <signal handler called>

#14 0x8a6f27c in sskgmstat ()

After installing Oracle, when dbassist runs, it hangs at "Initializing Database 80%" or it will stop near

0% if the database does not start. Examining the processes (via top) shows the svrmgrl process taking

up 99.9% of the CPU and 2.5MB of memory.

One workaround is:

1) Install the following RedHat 7.0 packages:

compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.9

compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2

2) Modify all occurrences of CC and LINK definitions in all env_*.mk makefiles in the

$ORACLE_HOME software tree from either $(LDCCOM) or gcc to i386-glibc21-linux-gcc. Example:

Change the lines such as:

CC=cc

LINK=$(LDCCOM)

LINK=$(PURECMDS) gcc $(LDFLAGS) $(COMPOBJS)

to:

CC=i386-glibc21-linux-gcc

LINK=i386-glibc21-linux-gcc

LINK=$(PURECMDS) i386-glibc21-linux-gcc $(LDFLAGS) $(COMPOBJS)

3) You will also need to modify the genclntsh shell script and substitute:

LD="ld -shared -L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib"

LD_RUNTIME="-R${ORACLE_HOME}/lib"

LD_OPT="-h ${CLNT_LIB}"

with:

1 2 ... 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
