Oracle 8.1.5.0.1 Patch Relink Problem

Question

When applying the patch I got the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lordsdo8: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake: *** [usr/local/ora815/rdbms/lib/oracle] Error 1
Which I have tracked down to this line of the patch script:
gmake -f $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk ioracle
The problem is I don't have that (*ordsdo*) anywhere on my
system. Which is a Red Hat 6.0 base install. (Nothing fancy)
I assume that this is one of the many Oracle libraries/shared
objects. Has anyone else hit this issue or know where that
library/shared object can be found? I need this portion
resolved to resolve the issue of not being able to connect to
the database with any accout other than the one I installed with.
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I think I've found the problem.... Taking a guess at the Oracle
lib naming conventions, ordsdo is the spatial data option lib. I
re-installed Oracle 8.1.5 with all of the options selected, and
didn't get this message. However, after applying the patch,
svrmgrl now core dumps. Everything else seems to work (sqlplus,
netasst etc...).
