Installing Oracle 10g2 64bit on CentOS 4.3 x86_64 (AMD) | Eric's Agile Answers

Installing Oracle 10g2 64bit on CentOS 4.3 x86_64 (AMD) | Eric's Agile Answers: "Installing Oracle 10g2 64bit on CentOS 4.3 x86_64 (AMD)

I suffered through quite a bit of trial and error during this installation because most of the posts on the issues encountered by those who blazed this trail before me failed to specify exactly which platform and versions they were tackling.

So, let me be clear. I started with the following:

* Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64
* CentOS 4.3 x86_64 (up2date sans kernel packages as of time of this post)
* jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.rpm

An out of the box install on the platform above using these instructions from Oracle will fail during the linking stage of installation.
Here is the list of dependencies that got me over the hump:

compat-db-4.1.25.9 i386
compat-db-4.1.25.9 x86_64
compat-gcc-32-3.2.3.47.3 x86_64
compat-gcc-32-c++-3.2.3.47.3 x86_64
glibc-devel-2.3.4.2.19 i386
glibc-devel-2.3.4.2.19 x86_64
libaio-0.3.105.2 i386
libaio-0.3.105.2 x86_64
libaio-devel-0.3.105.2 x86_64
sysstat-5.0.5.7.rhel4 x86_64
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2.1.EL.13.25.1 i386
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2.1.EL.13.25.1 x86_64

(Note: Some of these are already installed on CentOS 4.3 but I wanted to show the x86_64 beside the i386 to drive home the point that you need both)
