You caught that, right? x86_64

You caught that too, right? gcc -m32, .../lib32. Fixed with yum install glibc-devel.i386. But I'm just sayin. Is there a good reason for this?

I don't know what ctxhx does, but I'm guessing they didn't feel like including a 64-bit binary of it. I'm sure the code used to build it is 64-bit-clean since Oracle runs on plenty of 64-bit platforms.

If it's just a small utility program, there's no real reason to make it 64-bit on platforms which can build 32-bit programs. I think it's kind of stupid that your distribution doesn't include i386 glibc by default.

Also, why does the Oracle install process require linking this yourself? I guess it saves them from worrying about glibc changes, but it's still a little wtf. Most enterprise software is like that though.

You're probably right. You don't link it yourself, that's from the error log after the linking process failed. It all happens behind a pretty java app. Earlier in the process, the installer goes through prereq checks for kernel tweaks and network settings, so that would be a good place to do a check for needed objects/packages. When I first tried this on rhel3 (I think) a couple years ago, I couldn't get past these 32/64 bit errors and we ended up going with another distro. The server was a stripped down install that someone else did, and they probably thought we didn't need compat stuff. This is Oracle 10g, and they are up to 11 now. Curious if anything has changed.
