Install R12 on Enterprise Linux Check List

Before installing R12 on Enterprise Linux, better check the availability of some programs or library. They are:
  • glibc-2.3.4-2.25
  • glibc-common-2.3.4-2.25
  • binutils-2.15.92.0.2-21
  • compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2
  • gcc-3.4.6-3
  • gcc-c++-3.4.6-3
  • libgcc-3.4.6-3
  • libstdc++-3.4.6-3
  • libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-3
  • openmotif21-2.1.30-11.RHEL4.6**
  • pdksh-5.2.14-30.3
  • setarch-1.6-1
  • make-3.80-6.EL4
  • gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44.1
  • sysstat-5.0.5-11.rhel4
  • compat-db-4.1.25-9
  • control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.5
  • xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.11
  • libaio-0.3.105-2
  • libaio-devel-0.3.105-2
To do the checking, use this command: rpm -qa | grep [name]
just replace [name] with program/library name without version, for example:
rpm -qa | grep libaio-devel
Some differences on version number should be OK.
If the command returs nothing, then issue command to update: up2date [name]
for example: up2date libaio-devel
Make sure you have configure the up2date service.
