Error installing Oracle 9.2 on HP-UX 11.11

[ABalashov]

Hi all
I am trying to install Oracle 9.2.0.1 on a HP-UX 11.11 System. The installation went through completely But during the linking Phase, I ended up in the error
"Error in invoking target install of the makefile /net/oracle/product/9.2.0/sqlplus/lib/ins_sqlplus.mk
"

Can someone help me out with this?

My server:

Metalink reports many errors like the one you encountered. The most common cause seems to be a lack of swap space. Is there enough swap on your system and is the kernel tuned so that it can all be used?
Also, check the syslog for any O/S errors that may be related.

same error different version and some things to check.

Also check your release notes for your version. Here's another older link http://os.cc.biu.ac.il/documentation/oracle/8.1.7_doc/relnotes/A86838_01.pdf but it says that this type of error is a known installation problem.

From that link:
Known Upgrade Issues
An attempt to upgrade an Oracle8i Release 2 (8.1.6) database to a Release 3 (8.1.7) database in the same ORACLE_HOME will produce
ignorable installation runtime errors that occur during the deinstallation of the 8.1.6 software. Refer to bug 1344446 for more
information.
Oracle Universal Installer treats a software upgrade as a deinstall of the old software followed by an install of the new software. The errors that occur during upgrade in the same ORACLE_HOME appear as relinking errors in the RDBMS and Net8 Server. Since these errors are relinking errors which occur during the deinstall of the 8.1.6 software and since the affected files will be replaced and relinked again when the 8.1.7 software is installed, these errors can be safely ignored.
During upgrade of the software, Oracle Universal Installer will display
error dialogs with the following messages:
Error in invoking target ioracle of make file
/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk
Error in invoking target install of make file
/network/lib/ins_net_server.mk
Clicking the [Ignore] button on each of these dialogs allows the installation to continue.
Avoid these errors by installing the Release 3 (8.1.7) software into a new ORACLE_HOME, then performing the data upgrade as usual.

Hi Balashov,

The newer Oracle installs are notorious memory & swap hogs.
It's advised that for the install you have swap set for at least 2 X memory.
Check the Oracle install log & syslog.log for ENOMEM errors. If so that would indicate that you ran out.

Rgds,
Jeff

I have 1280 Mb of swap.
Used - 4%.

In the syslog of mistakes it is not revealed.

At somebody it has turned out to establish version 9.2.0.1?

I installed patches:
PHCO_26466, PHCO_27772, PHKL_24253, PHKL_25652, PHKL_25728, PHKL_25729, PHKL_27092, PHKL_27092, PHKL_27094, PHKL_27096, PHKL_27317, PHSS_26558,
PHSS_26560
There are messages in $ORACLE_HOME/install/make.log.

Stop.

Here is Oracle's answer to the gethrtime issue. I hope the formatting is OK.

Problem Description ------------------- You are relinking the Oracle software(either manually or as part of an install) on HP/UX 64-bit and receive errors similar to the following: 9.0.1.x: ld:Unsatisfied symbol "gethrtime" in file $ORACLE_HOME/lib//libserver9.a[kcrf.o] 1 errors. 9.2.0.1: cc: warning 487: Possibly incorrect message catalog. ld: Unsatisfied symbol "gethrtime" in file /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/lib//libserver9.a[kcrr.o] 1 errors. Solution Description -------------------- HP/UX patches PHCO_23770, PHCO_23092 must be applied. For details on these patches, please contact HP for assistance. Explanation ----------- The gethrtime(void) function is a new funtion in libc and is not present in older versions of libraries, so this issue did not appear in prior versions. The referenced HP patches resolve the linking errors. References ---------- Note: 149556.1 Bug: 1829872 Quick Installation Guide for HP-UX (Part number: A90351-01)

Hi,

The reasons for the errors may be due to one of the following:

1. Insufficient swap space.
Check if you have enough swap space. Do you have the contiguous chunk of swap space.

2. Defining environment variables and linking
Make that you are current on all the O/S patches. and all the libraries. Make sure you set your PATH correctly. /usr/lib , /usr/ccs/bin , /usr/ccs/lib, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and relink the executables.

3. If you have Internet Application Server installed then Oracle 9i and the 9iAS (Application Server) cannot share the same ORACLE_HOME. If you have installed other Oracle products, then Oracle 9.2.0 must be installed in a different ORACLE_HOME.

4. Patching libc on HP may solve the problem.


Hope this helps.

What patch I should apply?

[Indira Aramandla]

When you asked 4. which patch, does that mean 1,2 and 3 options are not the issue in your case.

Attached document has few suggestions from a previous forum on similar grounds.

Please refer to Oracle and HP before you descide the correct patch bundle level. This is only a suggestion.
