Hello Readers,

Recently i have faced a problem in installing and configuring Siebel Web server Extension 8.1.1.14 32 bit on Oracle Linux 6 64 bit. The main problem is that as SWSE 8.1.1.14 is supported on 32 bit OHS, but 32 bit OHS is not supported on OEL 64 bit.

So to resolve this issue we had to install 32 bit OHS on 64 bit OEL.

I have created a four part series for achieving this.

To do so firstly we need to do pre installation steps

Pre- Installation Steps

          1.     Install the following packages:

    libaio.i686  version  0.3.107-10.el6+

    libuuid.i686 version 0:2.17.2-12.7.el6_3+

The exact version of these rpms can vary.

These packages are searched with the command yum search <package> and added with the command: yum install <package>

          2.     Log in to the system as root, and do the following:

1. Move the existing /usr/bin/gcc file to /usr/bin/gcc.orig with the mv command:

mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc.orig

2. Using a text editor such as vi, create a new file called gcc41 that contains the following content (the line beginning with exec must be a single line):

#!/bin/sh

exec /usr/bin/gcc.orig -m32 -static-libgcc -B /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/32/ $*

Note:

The directory usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/32/ may differ slightly depending on the version of your Linux operating system. Search for the corresponding 32-bit directory under /usr/lib/gcc on your Linux operating system and use that directory in the gcc41 file.

3. Change the file permission for the gcc41 file using the following command:

chmod 755 /usr/bin/gcc41

4. Create a symbolic link to /usr/bin/gcc with the following command:

ln -s -f /usr/bin/gcc41 /usr/bin/gcc

5. Exit as the root user.
