Patch 4198954 compat-libcwait-2.1-1 RedHat R4

Question

Hi,
I am having a problem with installing this patch 4198954. When I install the rpm compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm I am getthing the following error:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libcwait.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.
This system is "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 1)"
I checked the location and everything appears to be fine.
[root@alvlabl23 tmp]# rpm -ihv compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm

Any help would be great

I’m not completely sure, this is my first time installing on a Linux system. However, I was able to run the installer and complete the install. The problem I have now is figuring out why I continue to get the error patch 4198954 says it fixes “ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libcwait.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.”. I think this could be because one of two things.
1)     My system is a Solaris x86 x64 box and the rpm is for i386 (Both version of compat-libcwait)
2)     The versions of compat-libcwait were not the version the install document said needed to be on the system. You would think that because the version have a higher number that they also would work… apparently not.
As for the problem you are having running the installer I can offer the steps I did to get it to run. But for the most part it was this document. http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
Create Oracle user:
Download Oracle9i for Linux from the following web site:
3) Stage Oracle Media
zcat amd64_db_9204_Disk1.cpio.gz | cpio -idmv
zcat amd64_db_9204_Disk2.cpio.gz | cpio -idmv
zcat amd64_db_9204_Disk3.cpio.gz | cpio –idmv
4) Create Mount Points
/app
/u01
/u02
5) # Setup Oracle environment variables
export ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/product/ora920
export ORAENV_ASK=NO
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
6) export DISPLAY
I was using a reflectionX telnet session. So I directed the display back to my system.
export DISPLAY=<My PC IPaddress>:0.0
I had to do this in order to get past 17%. Once the install completed I replaced my SAVED copy.
For RHEL4 Only: The Oracle Universal Installer will check the operating system release to
verify that it is a supported release. As of Oracle Database 10g 10.1.0.3, the installer
does not recognize RHEL4 as a supported release. The workaround is to follow the steps
below prior to running runInstaller.
su -
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig
cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
EOF
I had to set my Kernel version to this, even though my version is higher.
$ su - oracle
$ echo $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
2.4.19
run the installer
./runInstaller
