Hi Managers,
This is not actually a real summary as there was no question previously posted to the list, but it's just some
information others might (hopefully) find usefull.
I've a server on a remote site and this machine has been installed with a striped down version of Solaris. The
machine has no frame buffer and X has not been installed at all.
We wanted to do a silent or text based install of Oracle on this machine. Starting with Oracle 8, the
installer is a java application which can process a so called "reponse file" to do automated installations.
When we fired the installer, even with a response file, it started complaining about libX11.so missing, etc...
After ldd'ing and truss'ing around, we've identified the minimum set of packages you need to add on top of a
Solaris base install:
- SUNWxwplt
- SUNWxwice
- SUNWscpu
- SUNWxwrtl
The last is not really mandatory if you set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly, it's just a set of symbolink links.
I hope this could help.
Francois.
