Red Hat 6.2/8i Minium Requirements

The 8i preinstallation guide talks about setting the kernel, shared memory, and semaphore parameters (SHMMIN, SHMMNI, SHMMAX, etc.). Can't I just leave the default values and just proceed with the install? Did everyone else mess with theirs?
I only have 64 MB or RAM (I know, really small) but I'll only be creating small test tables so I figured I'd be ok installing 8i even if they recommend 128MB? Any comments?
Does everyone, who has successfully installed 8.1.6 on Red Hat 6.2, have 128 MB RAM? Am I the only loser with 64 MB RAM?
Thanks in advance!
Vlad

I didn't change my kernel parameters, and everything works fine. Anyway, it's quite simple, if it doesn't work, you will have to change them.
For testing purposes 64 mb will probably be fine, but don't expect great performance. If you are the only one using that database it will probably work fine. I've an old pentium with 96 mb, and it gives me no headaches.

  • Red Hat Cluster Suite without the use of RAC

    Hi,
    I want to install Oracle 9i/10g database on two nodes in linux redhat AS 3. I want to use Red Hat Cluster Suite for clustering and failover the Oracle db without the use of RAC. Is it possible and would it be sufficient enough ? Does Red Hat Cluster Suite support with Oracle 10g or just 9i ? With Red HAt Cluster Suite, would it require to have one virtual IP ?
    Thanks

    If you want failover all you need is a dataguard solution and skip out on cluster suite.
    If you want Distributed Database then you need RAC.. You can't implement a 9i/10g cluster per say by using an OS solution vs an Oracle solution.
    Node A - Primary
    Node B - Secondary
    Node A -> B (DataGuard redo replication)
    Process Management scripts to switch users from A to B and vice versa pending recovery of instances. Cluster suite has no involvement outside of what may be nice nice system management capability.

    Can we install DCNM management software on SUSE Linux in place of Red Hat Linux?

    We only support windows and red hat today as it does take significant QA effort to qualify more operating systems. Expect to see red hat virtual appliance early next year along with db appliance.

  • Failed Installation of Oracle8i on Red Hat Linux 7.0

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed Oracle8i(8.1.6) Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 7.0 but while running the Database Configuration Assistant, it stops at the database initialization portion. I suspect the initmig8i.ora file is causing the problem. I have followed the installation guide very closely and the SID is mig8i. What might be the problem causing it to stop? Now, I can't connect to database.

    Richard,
    It's a glib problem. 8i uses the glib 2.1 libraries, while RH7 uses the 2.2. There is a patch available from oracle support, or you can find a solution that has worked for me twice on the otn discussion forum.

  • Install Oracle 11.2 (ASM) failover on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Suite

    Hi everybody,
    I need installer Oracle 11.2 with asm on Failover Cluster Red Hat linux Suite (two servers), could someone help me?
    There is documentation about that...
    My idea is
    - Installer oracle in both servers
    - Installer Infraestructure Grid for asm in both server
    - Create database on asm (ams disk shoud be same for boths servers)
    Is soported gfs (global file system) and asm?
    I have many doubts.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have several comments:
    Don't use the RPM utility to install software. It does not resolve dependencies. As of RHEL 5, YUM or UP2DATE are the standard software management tools.
    RHEL? Do you have a paid subscription or money to waste? If not, you will be much better off using Oracle Linux, because you can download it for free and also have access to all errata and patches for free (http://public-yum.oracle.com). If you need the RHCK kernel instead of the more advanced Oracle UEK kernel, which is optimized by Oracle for Oracle products, no problem, because Oracle Linux ships with both. If you want to use Linux ASMLib under RHEL 6, you need a RHEL subscription to download the kernel module. The Oracle UEK kernel includes the driver.
    Also if you use Oracle Linux, you can install the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, which triggers the installation of all prerequisite software and takes care of kernel parameters and creating the Oracle account. You then simply set a password for the Oracle account and you're done.
    RHEL 6.0. Why such an old version and not 6.4?
    According to my records, you can use the following command under  RHEL 6 to install the 11gR2 prerequisite software. Yum will automatically install other depended software as required.
    yum install compat-libstdc++-33 compat-gcc-34 compat-gcc-34-c++ \
    elfutils-libelf-devel ksh sysstat make gcc gcc-c++ compat-libcap1 \
    glibc-devel glibc-common glibc-headers libstdc++-devel libaio-devel

  • Installation of Oracle AS 10g on Red Hat ES 3.0

    Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0 (All issues are cleared and u will b done with no error like Java Configuration Failed and make files errors)
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Custom Installation
    Copy from OTN Note
    Start
    Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
    1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
    o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
    2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
    o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
    o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
    3.     Language Selection
    o     Accept the default.
    4.     Keyboard Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    5.     Welcome Screen
    o     Click on Next.
    6.     Mouse Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    7.     Installation Type
    o     Select Custom.
    8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
    o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
    (WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
    This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
    The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
    - 100MB /boot partition
    -1,500MB swap partition—Set this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
    -7,150MB root partition— This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
    9.     Boot Loader Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    10.     Network Configuration
    o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
    o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
    o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
    o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
    11.     Firewall Configuration
    o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
    12.     Additional Language Support
    o     Accept the default.
    13.     Time Zone Selection
    o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
    14.     Set Root Password
    o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
    15.     Package Group Selection
    o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
    o     Desktop
    - X Window System
    - Gnome

    o     Click on Next to proceed.
    16.     About to Install
    o     Click on Next.
    17.     Installing Packages
    o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
    18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
    o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
    19.     Monitor Configuration
    o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
    20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
    o     Accept the defaults.
    21.     Congratulations
    o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
    22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
    o     Click on Next.
    23.     License Agreement
    o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
    24.     Date and Time

    o     If you want to use an NTP server (recommended), select Enable Network Time Protocol and enter the name of the NTP server.
    25.     User Account
    o     Create an account for yourself.
    o     Do not create an account for oracle at this time. Creating the oracle account is covered later in this section.
    26.     Red Hat Network

    There will no error in installation in infrastructure
    Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructure’s installation plz rename that 3 files as
    Mv coredb coredb-infra
    Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
    Mv ora     â€¦     ora…-infra
    If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
    When problem comes?
    AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

  • Installation of OracleAS 10g on Red Hat Linux ES 3.0

    Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
    Copy from OTN Note
    Start
    Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
    1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
    o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
    2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
    o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
    o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
    3.     Language Selection
    o     Accept the default.
    4.     Keyboard Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    5.     Welcome Screen
    o     Click on Next.
    6.     Mouse Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    7.     Installation Type
    o     Select Custom.
    8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
    o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
    (WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
    This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
    The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
    - 100MB /boot partition
    -1,500MB swap partition—Set this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
    -7,150MB root partition— This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
    9.     Boot Loader Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    10.     Network Configuration
    o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
    o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
    o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
    o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
    11.     Firewall Configuration
    o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
    12.     Additional Language Support
    o     Accept the default.
    13.     Time Zone Selection
    o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
    14.     Set Root Password
    o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
    15.     Package Group Selection
    o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
    o     Desktop
    - X Window System
    - Gnome
    - KDE
    - See my comments in the RHES 2.1 section regarding choice of GUI.
    o     Applications
    - Editors
    - Graphical Internet
    o     Servers
    - Do not select anything in this group.
    o     Development
    - Development Tools
    o     System
    - Administration Tools
    o     Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    - Do not select anything in this group.
    o     Miscellaneous
    - Legacy Software Development
    o     Click on Next to proceed.
    16.     About to Install
    o     Click on Next.
    17.     Installing Packages
    o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
    18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
    o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
    19.     Monitor Configuration
    o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
    20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
    o     Accept the defaults.
    21.     Congratulations
    o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
    22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
    o     Click on Next.
    23.     License Agreement
    o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
    24.     Date and Time
    o     Set the Date and Time.
    o     If you want to use an NTP server (recommended), select Enable Network Time Protocol and enter the name of the NTP server.
    25.     User Account
    o     Create an account for yourself.
    o     Do not create an account for oracle at this time. Creating the oracle account is covered later in this section.
    26.     Red Hat Network
    o     If you want to use or activate your Red Hat Network account now, accept the default, click on Next, and follow the product activation instructions that accompanied your Red Hat product.
    27.     Additional CDs
    o     Click on Next.
    28.     Finish Setup
    o     Click on Next.
    29.     A graphical login screen appears.
    30.     Congratulations! Your Linux software is now installed.

    Press Y               (There is no need to disturb, upgrade, degrade any package)
    Press Y
    Installation will start while installing and reaches at ~50% then go to /oracle/appsrv/infra/bin open relink file and change at line # 50 i.e. remove 2 brackets
    ] –o [  and at line # 102 make= /usr/ccs/bin/make to /usr/bin/make remove ccs and save the file
    There will no error in installation in infrastructure
    Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructure’s installation plz rename that 3 files as
    Mv coredb coredb-infra
    Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
    Mv ora     â€¦     ora…-infra
    If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
    When problem comes?
    AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

  • Errors when installing Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 on zLinux (Red Hat)

    I am receiving errors when installing Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 (Administrator) on zLinux. During the install I receive two notifications for File Not Found when the installer tries to create the link for lib32/libclntsh.so.10.1. I hit ignore on the pop-ups and the install completes. The Oracle Net Configuration Assistant then fails to launch with the following error:
    Output generated from configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant":
    Command = /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/netca /orahome /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 /orahnam Oracle_home /instype custom /inscomp client,oraclenet,ano /insprtcl tcp /cfg local /authadp NO_VALUE /nodeinfo NO_VALUE /responseFile /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/install/netca_clt.rsp

    Configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" failed
    The "/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/cfgtoollogs/configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.
    I have seen multiple threads relating to very similar errors, but none of the fixes that were suggested have worked. I have double checked the required Red Hat packages and made sure they were all installed on the server. All of the prerequisite checks for the installer are successful. Any assistance would be of most helpful!

    Worked with my Linux system admin and figured out that we were indeed missing some packages. There are 390 and 390x rpm's for Red Hat on System Z, i.e. 64 bit and 32 bit versions. Since we are running a 64 bit os some of those 32 bit packages did not get installed. Since our roles are split up, I am kind of blind as to the OS setup so I was not able to catch the problem. It is truly puzzling as to why Oracle would need 32 bit packages even though Oracle client is 64 bit. Regardless, after adding the 32 bit rpm's the installer was able to perform the linking operation that was failing, and the network configuration script ran successfully.

  • Problem installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

    Hi,
    Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
    I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
    It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
    Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
    Thanks in advanced for any help.
    Best regards,
    William

    I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
    seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
    could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle
    installer interface. I never thought it would be this hard to
    get started.

    Ched

    Did you carefully go through all pre-req steps for install?
    Oracle needs some "compatibility libraries" as well (compat-lib*). Here are packages for AS 10g, most or all of which apply to Database too.
    Checking operating system packages: gcc-3.2.3-20,compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122,compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,setarch-1.3-1,pdksh-5.2.14,sysstat-4.0.7,gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1,libstdc++-3.2.3,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.5
    When required packages are in place, there's another error lurking, related to __libc_wait symbol.
    runInstaller "boots" OUI, which includes running a JRE from tmp. This JRE (build 02) is broken, but you can setup to run another one via oraparam.ini and JRE_LOCATION. Download build 10 from Sun (google "jre 1.3.1 download").

  • How to Install Oracle on Red Hat Linux?

    My System is having P4 1.8 GHz Processor with 128 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD(7 GB Linux Partition + 1 GB Swap Partition). I have installed Red Hat Linux 9(Server). Now, I want to install Oracle 9 on this syste. But I don't know how to install it. Anyone who knows this, plz, mail me the necessary system requirements alongwith some settings, if any. My Email ID is [email protected]/[email protected]

    I think you'll have some problems with 128MB RAM.....<br><br>
    :P Nonsense, but I do hope that hard drive is one of those new, fancy flash hard drives, otherwise the system will spend so much time swapping that it won't get past the installer.

  • Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
    Thanks again,
    Virendra

    I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
    You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
    The Must PDF's to refer before installation
    1)r1152ins.pdf
    2)11iconcepts.pdf
    According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
    The installation process can be divided into
    Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
    I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
    Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
    In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
    In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
    1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
    2)1-11 CD's
    1-3 Application Top information
    4th Oracle DB
    5-6 IAS and other tools
    7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
    You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
    While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
    Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
    Installation Types

    Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
    Plus space for ur staging area.
    This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
    Softwares on System
    Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
    Install VC++:
    Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
    It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
    NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
    Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
    or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
    Evaluation copy from
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
    Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
    Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
    You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
    Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
    It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
    The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
    1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
    This can be done by performing the following steps:
    NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
    1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
    The directory contains the following files:
    README
    djtarnt.exe
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe
    Only two of the files are required:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
    2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
    Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
    3) Point your browser to the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
    The files needed from this directory are:
    make-3.77.tar.gz
    make-3.78.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.tar.gz
    Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
    DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
    4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
    Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
    5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
    command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
    6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
    called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
    Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
    Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
    WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
    See [NOTE:115937.1]
    for work around. RELATED DOCUMENTS ----------------- For Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit and
    GNUMAKE support, you should contact their respective vendors Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit

    Note:115937.1: GNU Make won't make on windows NT
    Important:All the downloaded files from GNU makes web sites shall be put in a single folder called gnumake under c:\ .Try to search for config.bat file inside this folders just click and
    run it.
    Env path setting:
    Try to search make.exe generated in c:\program files\mkstoolkit\mksnt and copy and paste it
    c:\gnumake\MAKE-3.77\windebug and c:\gnumake\MAKE-3.77\winRel also paste both this paths in the
    My Computers==>Properties==>Advanced==>Environment variables==>Path setting's
    After all this check as follows from CMD mode.
    1)execute make at c:\>
    2)execute gnumake at c:\>
    In win2000 it may return error messages or Target wrong ignore it.If it is on Win NT then it will return proper status.
    Create Applmgr user in Win2000:
    Create a Applmgr user account in win2000 .
    Installation:
    =============
    What here you require is the Patience .
    Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
    For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
    In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
    It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
    The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
    For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
    The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
    installed products it requires without any failure.
    The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
    This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]
