I know you are running a 64-bit system, but are you installing a
64-bit or a 32-bit Oracle client? If the latter, you'll probably need
the 32-bit rpms. You can tell which version you have installed by
running
# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})" |
grep <RPM_name>
E.g.:
# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})" |
grep compat-gcc
Alternatively, have you tried verifying or de-installing and
re-installing the packages that supposedly are "not installed"?
Kind regards,
Herta
