sreejith_4 — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 01:30:21 GMT

Hi,

I am gettign a following error while installing Oracle 9.2.0.4 on HP-UX 11.11
"Error in invoking target install of makefile /home/oracle/OraHome1/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk"

/oracle/OraHome1/install/make.log file shows the following error

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't find library for -lXm

Any idea ?

Thanks

Hi,

You haven't set the kernel values required by oracle 9i, refer the installation docs for the kernel parameters to be set.

Hi,

Its all set accordingly. I don't think Kernel parameters are the issues

Thanks

hi,

have you created the following links before installation

$ su - root
$ cd /usr/lib
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libX11.3 libX11.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXIE.2 libXIE.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXext.3 libXext.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXhp11.3 libXhp11.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXi.3 libXi.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.4 libXm.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXp.2 libXp.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXt.3 libXt.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXtst.2 libXtst.sl

HP Document KBRC00003627 states that you must create the following
three soft links:

ln -s /usr/lib/Motif2.1/libXm.4 /usr/lib/Motif2.1/libXm.sl
ln -s /usr/lib/libXt.3 /usr/lib/libXt.sl
ln -s /usr/lib/libX11.3 /usr/lib/libX11.sl

You check /usr/lib and the links are there.

#oracle environment variables
DISPLAY=mymachine:0.0
export DISPLAY
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/9.0.1; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE=/oradb; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_SID=OEMREP; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM
JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.3; export JAVA_HOME
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin; export TNS_ADMIN
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII; export NLS_LANG
#NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1; export NLS_LANG
NLS_LANGUAGE=$NLS_LANG; export NLS_LANGUAGE
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data; export ORA_NLS33
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib32
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export SHLIB_PATH

i think mainly it may be due to libXm links

hi Sreejith,

This is a common problem.
See metalink note: 151547.1

The problem you are getting is because the linker (ld) cannot locate the X11/Motif shared libraries in /usr/lib.

Proceed as follows:
a. Verify if libXm.sl exists in /usr/lib
b. Check for base X11/Motif libraries
ls -al libXm.*
c. Create the shared library as a symbolic link to the base X11/Motif library.
ln -s libXm.4 libXm.sl

NB. You should do the same for the other libraries, libXt.sl and libX11.sl.

you can then proceed with your installation.

hope this helps!

regards
yogeeraj

Hi,
can you please increase the max. number of semaphores (SEMMNS) or reduce number of processes in init.ora.

If required see metalink for explanation.

and make it sure that there is enough space in /tmp (at least 450MB) and in oracle installation folder.

Hi Sreejith,

From you error message ORA-ORA-27302,ORA-27303,ORA-27146 can happen if your init.ora - processes parameter is set too high, but the kernel is not configured to handle this.

Suggestion to fix the issue:
Increase your kernel parameters , specifically the semaphore related parameters such as SEMMNI,SEMMNS, SEMMSL & SEMMNI.
OR
Decrease the processes value in the init.ora and try restarting the instance.

Also, make sure that there are no 'hanging or dead ' processes that are consuming the shared memory and semaphore resources.

You can use the ipcs and the ipcrm command for this.
