When I install oracle 9.2.0.4.0 on CentOS 4.8, I get the following error at 63 percent.

Error in invoking target install of makefile $ORACLE_HOME/plsql/lib/ins_plsql.mk

I tried this possible solution.

(a) Open a new terminal window
Login as oracle user:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
cp genclntsh genclntsh.bak
(b) vi genclntsh
(c) In line 152,change
from # LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"

to # LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""

save the file.
(d) Run the genclntsh script, ./genclntsh
(f) Go back to the Installer and click "Retry".

But when I executed genclntsh, I got the following error-like messages.

basename: too few arguments
Try `basename --help' for more information.
cp: missing file arguments
Try `cp --help' for more information.
cp: cannot stat `/DISCARD/': No such file or directory
Created $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntst9.a

After that the prompt came back. I hit the retry button, but got the same error message again.

I hope someone can help me further resolving this problem.

I know with 100% certainty that Oracle installs without any problem when the installer actually reads & follows the Installation Guide.

I suspect that your system either is missing required libraries or the version on your system do not meet required minimum version.

When all else fails, Read The Fine Manual

http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/toc.htm

Installing into unsupported VM environment is asking for problems.

I agree with you somewhat. However, someone made it successfully without this kind of error. I checked this error on the google. There is lots of posts having the same error since 2002. Unfortunately, there was no post giving detailed solution.

I did install Oracle9i closely as installation manual.

I seriously doubt folks were using VM in 2002.

Why are you messing with obsoleted & unsupported V9?

You are right. The only difference is no VMware involved in previous posts. But I think newworking would be major issue for VMware.

I like Oracle9i because it is small. Lower hardware requirement for this version. Many companies are still using Oracle9i. The other reason is the same software packages showing in my training vedio. I just don't understand why I have this error during oracle9i installation. Of course, I am not the only one.
