SDE installation on RHEL - problem with the packages

DejanKrstevski — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:10:29 GMT

Hi everybody,

we are dealing with problem during the installation of ArcSDE v.10 on this platform

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Release 5.5 (64-bit)
Oracle 11g R2 (64 bit)11.2.0.1

The problem is that all the time during the ArcSDE installation we are missing some packages that RHEL is looking for. All the time some other package is missing and after we download it and install it something new is missing.
Are we doing something obviously wrong or if there are some list of files that should be installed before ArcSDE installation please tell me.

Regards
Dejan

Hi Dejan,

When you mention you are missing some packages that RHEL is looking for, are you referring to RedHat linux specific OS packages or ArcSDE for Oracle packages? Would you be able to clarify, please?

Thanks.

The list of packages is slightly different for every OS install (available versions change)
but ArcSDE requires, in addition to the Oracle requirements: libstdc++, f2c, and openmotif,
which are dependent on libXp, libXm, libX11, g2c and several compatibility packages
for older compilers and X11.

If you execute 'ldd $SDEHOME/bin/sdesetup' it will tell you which libraries are missing.
Running rpm on the packages that provide those libraries will report their dependencies.

A previous forums posting gives the exact package names for an earlier RedHat.
