Very interesting Kecskemethy
In the paper it is written:
*4.2 Default Makefile Issue on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5*
The default makefile version on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is make 3.81. In this
makefile version, the default database name (db_name) is not recognized by the client.
Therefore, you should use makefile version 3.79 or use @db_name whenever
username/password is used in the makefile.
I tried the rpm-make-3.79 .... El5.ppc but I've not found.
Should I then replace @dbname in the makefile.
But where are these makefile that uses Oracle?
And then I'm not sure that this will solve the problem ...
