Oracle Installer upgrade from 9.2.0.7 naar 9.2.0.8

[Rob van Buiten]

Court,

Is it really that bad 9.2.0.8?
We have to upgrade because of oracle support!

Thanks,
Ron

Volker,

I found more versions of "libjvm.sl"
But how do I know which is the right one? And when I find the right one, how do I tell the installer to use that file(s)?

I noticed also that the installer builds an lib directory in /tmp where this file also present is.

Thanks,
Ron

=========================================
I am assuming a missmatch of the required JAVA virtual machine (libjvm.sl).

Since it worked earlier and it does not work now ...

Did you change either JAVA_HOME in your environment or did you update to a nonsupported (may be too high) version in you current JAVA_HOME or did you apply a patch that has garbled esp. this file libjvm.sl ?

Does
find / -name libjvm.sl
suggests another location where SHLIB_PATH might be successfull ?
======================================

I'd assume to set may be
"."
in the SHLIB_PATH first, and start the Installer
with ./runInstaller.

First shots so far.

Did you see this ?

May be you have a wrong patch version.

Hope this helps

Volker,

That "." did the job!!!!

SHLIB_PATH=.:/usr/lib
export SHLIB_PATH


Thanks!

Fine :-)

but do not set this as a standard.
Having . in either PATH or shared libraray environment is not so good for security reasons. Even libs might get spoofed.
