To check these RPMs, run:
rpm -q make glibc gcc gcc-c++ libstdc++ openmotif
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 2.1 it is also important to have binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12 or a
newer version installed. Make sure you have the
binutils
RPM installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 as well:
rpm -q binutils
Important
OUI for x86 will also complain if the openmotif package is missing (do not confuse it
with the openmotif21 package). Red Hat changed the version naming schema from
openmotif-2.2.2-16 in the original release to openmotif-2.2.3-5.RHEL3.2
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 5. This seems to confuse OUI in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux3 U5 since it complaining that it can not find the right openmotif
version. You can ignore this. The openmotif-2.2.3-5.RHEL3.2 is just a newer version of
openmotif-2.2.2-16 which should work fine and should not cause any problems. To
check the RPM, run:
rpm -q openmotif
Also, make sure the redhat-release package is installed. Earlier versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
may not install it by default when you selected a minimum system installation:
rpm -q redhat-release
The setarch utility is new in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4. It is used to tell the kernel to report a
different architecture than the current one. It is also used to emulate a 3GB virtual address space for
applications that do not run properly with a larger virtual address space. To check the RPM, run:
rpm -q setarch
19.4. Verifying Kernel Parameters
To see all kernel parameters, execute:
su - root
sysctl -a
For Oracle 10g, the following kernel parameters have to be set to values greater than or equal to the
recommended values which can be changed in the proc file system:
To verify shmmax, execute:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
shmmax
= 2147483648
