Which packages are required for make?

I'd like to compile athcool and grabbed the source, but for the life of me, can't figure out which packages are needed for make.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I got errors:

  • What packages are required for an 11.2.0.3 install on Solaris 11?

    Where can I find information on which packages are required to install Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Solaris 11?
    The documentation only mentions Solaris 10. I tracked down the packages required for Solaris 10, and most of them are either included in the GA release of 11 or obsoleted.
    There are however a couple of packages that are missing from the base install of Solaris 11:
    SUNWarc (renamed to):
         * consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporation (installed)
         * developer/library/lint (missing)
    SUNWhea (renamed to):
         * consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporation (installed)
         * system/header (misising)
    So it looks like developer/library/lint and system/header are packages from required for Solaris 10 that are missing on 11. The installer however doesn't check for any packages whatsoever.
    Does that mean it's safe to install the database?
    Edited by: 894946 on Nov 21, 2011 8:38 AM

    Here is list of packages you need in order to install Oracle 11gR2 on Solaris 11:
    SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibms SUNWpool SUNWpoolr SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWlibm SUNWuiu8 SUNWfont-xorg-core SUNWfont-xorg-iso8859-1 SUNWmfrun SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs SUNWxwfsw SUNWxwplt
    Some of the above are installed by default which you can find by:
    pkginfo -i SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibms SUNWpool SUNWpoolr SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWlibm SUNWuiu8 SUNWfont-xorg-core SUNWfont-xorg-iso8859-1 SUNWmfrun SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs SUNWxwfsw SUNWxwplt
    I believe you will only have to install the following:
    pkg install compatibility/packages/SUNWxwplt SUNWarc SUNWhea SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs

    As SQL tuning advisor relies on the advisor framework, so all tuning task interfaces (XXX_TUNING_TASK) require privilege ADVISOR.

  • Which parameters are required for generating a solution manager key?

    Hello All,
    I generated a key in Solution Manager, to install a SAP NW 2004s SR1.
    But I receive an error during the installation from the SAPINST:
    <b>"SAP Solution manager key for the instance number... is invalid ".</b>
    I already changed the parameters for generating the key, changed the instance number, hostname, but I still receive the same error.
    Could someone tell me which parameters <u>exactly</u> are required for generating a solution manager key?
    thanks
    Thomas

    Dear Sri,
    this is exactly what I have entered, I still get the same error message.
    <u>My entries in SAPINST:</u>
    SAPinst founds one system instance on the host with
      the Instance number 00,
      the Instance name SCS00.
    And ask for the Central Instance parameters:
    there I enter<b> 01</b> for the central Instance number,
    the hostname
    and the solution manager key generated for the instance number <b>01</b>!
    best regards
    Thomas

  • Which archivelogs are required for restoring database

    I'm moving to RMAN direct to tape backups (via Netbackup). I'm hoping someone can clarify for me which archivelogs are needed for restoring/recovering a RMAN "hot" backup.
    I will have two tape pools with different retention periods:
    - standard (kept for 2 months)
    - long term (kept for 7 years)
    I plan to backup as follows:
    - archivelogs every 15 mins direct to the standard pool
    - daily backups to the standard pool
    - monthend backups to the long term pool
    Month ends will either be a full or a full plus a cumulative (level 2) (depending on the weekday that month end falls on).
    The bit I'm concerned about is archivelogs. After 2 months they will be expired on tape. But do I need archive logs in order to restore the month end backups?
    At the moment I record the SCN before the backup begins and after it finishes (retrieved via select first_change# first_scn from v$log where status = 'CURRENT'). Before recording the post-backup SCN, I force a logfile switch.
    For clones, I always restore to the post-backup SCN that I previously recorded (rather than using the tag I associated with the backup).
    So a few questions related to restoring after the 2 month window:
    - do I need the archivelogs created during the timespan of the backup ran in order to restore to the post-backup SCN?
    - If so, is just backing up these archivelogs (to the long term pool) by specifying the range of pre-backup SCN to post-backup SCN sufficient or are additional archivelogs likely to be required?
    - if I restore the database and don't specify an SCN but just specify the tag used at the time of the backup, will archive logs be required at all? In this case what would be the state of the restored database - would it be as it was at the beginning or at the end of the backup?

    Hi user4835675,
    do I need the archivelogs created during the timespan of the backup ran in order to restore to the post-backup SCN?Yes.
    If so, is just backing up these archivelogs (to the long term pool) by specifying the range of pre-backup SCN to post-backup SCN sufficient or are additional
    archivelogs likely to be required?Can you do a skip of the daily backup schedule duing the monthend backups run and run the "archivelogs every 15 mins" job to the long term pool?
    Or temporarily stop the "archivelogs every 15 mins" job during the monthend job and run the monthend backup with the "backup database plus archivelog" clause?
    if I restore the database and don't specify an SCN but just specify the tag used at the time of the backup, will archive logs be required at all?Yes, you need archivelogs to recover the datafiles to a consistent state.
    In this case what would be the state of the restored database - would it be as it was at the beginning or at the end of the backup?You can only restore to a point in time which past the end of the backup.

  • Which R packages are required for Predictive Analysis?

    Hi,
    I have installed SAP Predictive Analysis and have installed R - 3.0.0.
    When I try to use the predict functionality in PA, i keep receiving error messages (such as the one attached).
    Is it because I havent installed all of the right packages in R? If so, which packages do I need to install in R?
    Thanks in a advance for any help.
    Emma

    Hi Emma, you can find this doc about configuration of R for previous version with R 2.15 :
    How to Manually Install and Configure Open Source R on Microsoft Windows 7 for SAP PA 1.0
    Required packages are:

  • Which authorizations are required for assigning a query to a role?

    Hi everybody,
    we try to set up some roles for "reporting power users". These guys should be alble to define new queries using BEx (works fine) and also should be able to assign these new defined queries to a role, so other users can use these roles.
    The idea is simple, but we're searching for the right authorization object (or - as i suppose - set of authorization objects) that enables the user to assign a query to a role (using that "enter to a role" button in the open / save dialog).
    At the moment, the user can user that button, and the role, he should the query assigned to is shown. After selecting the role and clicking button "create" it take some seconds and a message "error when saving. entry has not been created" is shown.
    Obviously, there is a problem with writing the role (or adding the new information to that role).
    So, could anyone help me and provide me with a list of authorization objects that are required.
    Thanks in advance,
      Alfred

    S_RFC
    S_TCODE
    S_USER_GRP
    S_BDS_D
    S_OD_SEND
    S_RS_AUTH
    S_RS_BCS
    S_RS_COMP
    S_RS_COMP1
    S_RS_FOLD
    S_RS_ICUBE
    S_RS_MPRO
    The above mentioned authorization objects are enough to add in the role and required for the accessing a query.
    particularly, S_RS_COMP, S_RS_COMP1, S_RS_MPRO, S_RS_ICUBE are the most important auth objects which are directly getting involved in authorization of a query in a role.
    SO, you have to assign the respective info area, info cube and info providers names in these auth objects.
    The same scenario , i am using in my project to give access to the queries in all the areas for my end users.
    The values and access/authorizations restrictions is up to your project requirement.
    Hope this would help you.

  • Which packages are needed for rt73 chipset?

    Right, so the last time I installed Arch, I blindly installed every package related to networking and the size of the install came out to be quite big for an arch install. This time, I want to reinstall it with the barest amount of packages needed for me to get on the Internet (including base and base-devel), so which packages do I select?

    While I have no first hand experience of rt73/rt2571 based devices myself, the Arch Wiki suggests it's no big deal.
    I use wicd as a wireless connection manager as it comes with a curses based interface so you can easily select wireless networks before setting up X.org (or if you don't use it). It is very easy to set up and manage.

  • Which rights are required for a user to create a new database instance

    Hi,
    Which user can create a database instance? Is it Admin or any user? or Is it must to have admin rights on the <oracle_home> folder in order to create a new database instance?
    Please let me know what rights the user should have for creating a new database instance.
    Regards,
    venkat

    If I login to machine as a Guest user or I am not a owner of Oracle software then in the both cases I couldn't able to create a new database instance. Am I right?
    Please suggest me.

  • VDA in VDI - which licences are required?

    hi.. please tell me which licences are required for this scenario:
    1) there are 3 hosts with Windows Server Data Center 2012
    2) there are 250 zero clients (without Windows)
    I would like to virtualize these zero clients. 
    I know that I need licenses as below:
    1) 3 x Windows Server Data Center 2012
    2) 250 x subscription VDA
    3) 250 x subscription VDI Suite without MDOP
    Do I need Windows Server CAL or Remote Desktop Services CAL?

    I have contacted with Microsoft - they told me that I need only Win svr + VDA + VDI
    I heve contacted also with Microsoft Partner - they didn't know, but they contacted with Microsoft and they received information that I need Win Svr + VDA + VDI + CAL WIN + RDS CAL
    what now?

  • Which ports are required by ODMA?

    I am an SAP R/3 administrator.
    I want to upgrade from Oracle 8.0.6.3 to 8.1.7.3 under AIX 4.3.3
    So I need to use the RUNINSTALLER followed by the ODMA
    I want to do this remotely, passing out through one firewall then in through another.
    My X-emulation is ReflectionX, for which I already have firewall transparency for port 6000 .
    My question: Which ports are required for RUNINSTALLER + ODMA
    Thanks in advance,
    Keith

    Hi Keith!
    This forum deals with issues specifically related to the Oracle Migration Workbench product. This product is used to migrate non Oracle databases to Oracle8i & Orace9i. (It does not enable you to migrate from one Oracle database version to another!)
    In order to get assistance in performing a migration frrm one Oracle database version to another you should contact Oracle RDBMS Support. You should be able to find their contact details in the Documentation that comes with ODMA.
    hope this helps

  • Which packages are not required?

    Hi Friends,
    Initially, I was trying to install arch by just installing base and then going ahead, but was unable to get X. Then, I installed base+X11+X11 libs+ X11 something (dont remember..) and after a lot of trouble, finally got XFCE installed and running (though still problems with fontsand have posted another query in desktop environment section). I have noticed that in doing so, I have installed a lot of things that are not required for my system, like xf86-input-bla bla and xf86-vide-bla bla, I know that only a few of them are required, but i'm afraid of uninstalling anything given that could break the system.
    So, is there a way to determine which packages are being used by my system and which are required so that I can free up some space and make my box more slim.
    Please post your opinions. Thanks in advance.

    There are two notions of "orphan". As it is meant in the orphan script, a package is an orphan iff it is not needed in a working system. This is an intrinsically vague target, which can be focussed only through a partial heuristics.
    In the sense of the -Qe pacman option, an app is an orphan iff it is not a dependency of another package. In this sense, many vital apps -- explicitly installed -- in a system are orphans.
    However, it is true that pacman -Qe allows to have a list of the top-level apps (the stuff you know what it is, without the libraries etc.). If you identify in the list of pacman orphans the apps you do not need and then remove them with 'pacman -Rsc', you clean your system pretty well.
    However, you should be careful, many problems can be foreseen when you do not know what it is the package you are removing.
