Even if you are installing 64 bit Oracle there are some packages that need both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions installed. This is a cut/paste of 11g requirements, but if I remember right the 32 bit versions were required for 10G as well. binutils-2.15.92.0.2 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 (32 bit) elfutils-libelf-0.97 elfutils-libelf-devel-0.97 gcc-3.4.5 gcc-c++-3.4.5 glibc-2.3.4-2.19 glibc-2.3.4-2.19 (32 bit) glibc-common-2.3.4 glibc-devel-2.3.4 glibc-devel-2.3.4 (32-bit) libaio-0.3.105 libaio-0.3.105 (32 bit) libaio-devel-0.3.105 libgcc-3.4.5 libgcc-3.4.5 (32-bit) libstdc++-3.4.5 libstdc++-3.4.5 (32 bit) libstdc++-devel 3.4.5 make-3.80 sysstat-5.0.5 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/pre_install.htm#CIHFICFD On 6/4/08 8:28 PM, "Geofrey Rainey" <Geofrey.Rainey@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: The following information is how I build Oracle.

There is a clear difference between the query (above) and what I believe I have installed. Either I've done everything, and CentOS/rpm -qa is wrong, or that something else I need to do is just eluding me, hense my plee to this list. At the moment, the Oracle piece is actually too advanced for this issue. It really comes down to something more fundamental. I may take you up on the idea of yum remove <package> and yum install <package> for those reporting as not being installed.
