Install Oracle eBusiness 12 on Oracle Linux 5.7

Question

Hi All,
My name is John and I have some questions in relation to the installation of Oracle eBusiness 12 on Oracle Linusx 5.7 64bit. Here is what I've done so far:
- I installed Window 7 on my Macbook Pro Retina Display using Boot camp.
- I installed VMware Player 5.00 on the Window 7 host.
- I installed Oracle Linux 5.7 64bit Guest in the VMware Player 5.00
- I performed 'yum update' on the Oracle Linux 5.7 Guest
- When I ran 'uname -r' it returned '2.6.32-300.39.1.el5uek'
- I updated the latest Rapid Install patch as described in Oracle Applications Release Notes, Release 12.1.1 (My Oracle Support Document 798258.1) and now the RapidWizVersion returned is 12.1.1.13.
My question is in Moc 761566.1, it stated that the following packages must be installed from the Oracle Linux 5 or RHEL 5 distribution media on both application and database tiers:
•gcc-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•glibc-2.5-18.i686 (32-bit)
•glibc-2.5-18.x86_64
•glibc-common-2.5-18.x86_64
•glibc-devel-2.5-18.i386 (32-bit)
•glibc-devel-2.5-18.x86_64
•libgcc-4.1.2-14.el5.i386
•libgcc-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-14.el5.i386
•libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•libstdc++-4.1.2-14.el5.i386
•libstdc++-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•libXi-1.0.1-3.1.i386
•libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.i386
•libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.x86_64
•libaio-0.3.106-3.2.i386
•libaio-0.3.106-3.2.x86_64
•libgomp-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•make-3.81-1.1.x86_64
•gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1.i386
•gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1.x86_64
•sysstat-7.0.0-3.el5.x86_64
•util-linux-2.13-0.45.el5.x86_64
•compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138.i386
•compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386
Since I'm not a Linux guru so I just ran a 'rpm -qa > all_rpm.txt' and open that output file and find whether I have all of those above installed rpms before installing Oracle eBusiness Suite.
First, I discovered that I do not have any 'gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64' rpm installed on my Linux 5.7 64 bit guest system. Could you please advise how do I install this particular rpm because I thought after running the 'yum update' command, it would already have installed this rpm (gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64) for me.
Also, is there any 'pre-test' that I can carry out to ensure that the Oracle eBusiness installation would be successful. Because in the past, I have attempted to install Oracle eBusiness twice but on both occasions, they have failed miserably with the Linux just hung and I have to perform the whole process again. Thank you for your assistance as I really want to have it installed on my Mac Book Pro successfully.
Regards,
John

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for the quick reply but here were that results when I followed your suggestion and I believe none of three have worked successfully and can you advise what I've done wrong or what I've forgotten to do, thank you for your assistance.
1.) After I executed 'yum install gcc-c++-*'
yum install gcc-c++-*

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va nofiles nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
2.) After I executed 'yum install gcc-c*'
yum install gcc-c*
