Mahin,

Who told you that you need a C compiler?

You only need the C compiler if you are writing Oracle Pro C code.

Certainly the database and application server doesn't require it.

The Oracle installer might request some patches for the C compiler, but if you don't have it installed you can safely ignore these

Hi Mahin:

I think your Oracle licence will far out-cost your compiler license.

The installtion of Oracle and/or relinking its executables can be accomplished with the bundled C compiler that comes with HP-UX.

You will need an Ansi C compiler for ProC programs, though, for example.

As JRF says, the bundled C compiler is fine to do the installation.

>JRF: I think your Oracle license will far out-cost your compiler license.

Since the compiler license is per CPU, it does add up.

If you have Oracle apps, you can't use a bundled C compiler to link, you must have aC++.

(There is a special deal in this case so you don't have to purchase the aC++ compiler.)
