Installation problems on HP-UX 10.20 with Oracle 8.0.6

[Goutham Amarneni]

Hi All,
I am getting the following error when trying to install 8.0.6 on HP UX 10.20. I have set up all the paths and Kernal parameters as recommended by the installation manual. Any help is appreciated.

$ ./orainst
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libnss_dns.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
./orainst[231]: 1577 Abort

Thanks

Hi there.
You are missing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SHLIB_PATH.
Sample
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/openwin/lib:${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
SHLIB_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/network/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/Motif1.2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export SHLIB_PATH

Hope, it helps.

Hi there.
Forget the hash sign in front of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Hi Alexander
I have similar paths set up, but still getting that error. Any other ideas. Thanks for your Help.

Go through you Oracle installation specifications, you need some patches to update your system.

Hi,
I never installed a 8.0.6 on hp/ux. I did install 8.1.6. This what I would do,
1- make sure SHLIB_PATH is correct. ( mensioned previuosly)
2- check the CD to see if you are installing a 32 bit or 64 bit. I did this mistake before.
3- make sure libnss_dns.1 exist in /usr/lib directory.

Thanks
