    Hi,
    INSTALLATION OF ORACLE 7.3.4.0.0 ON SCO OPENSERVER 5 FAILS
    ==========================================================

    Versions Affected
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ORACLE version 7.3.4.0.0


    Platforms Affected
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    SCO Openserver 5.0.2, 5.0.4 & 5.0.5 (all running Enterprise Edition)


    Description
    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    There is a known issue when installing ORACLE 7.3.4.0.0 on SCO Openserver 5
    (Enterprise Edition).  During the relinking stage of the RDBMS the
    following errors are reported:

    Error during action 'Creating ntcontab.o'.
    Command:  make -f
    /u2/app/oracle/product/7.3.4/network/lib/ins_network.mk ntcontab.o
    (if [ "compile" = "compile" ] ;then    /u2/app/oracle/product/7.3.4/bin/gennttab > ntcontab.c ;   cc  -c ntcontab.c ;   rm -f /u2/app/oracle/product/7.3.4/lib/ntcontab.o ;   mv ntcontab.o /u2/app/oracle/product/7.3.4/lib ;fi)
       /bin/sh: cc: not found
       mv: cannot access ntcontab.o: No such file or directory (error 2)
       make: *** [ntcontab.o] Error 2

    This is because the 'SCO Openserver Enterprise Edition' operating system does
    not include a C compiler by default.  This is only available with the 'SCO
    Development Kit'.  

    Likelihood of Occurrence
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    You will hit this problem each time you attempt to install ORACLE 7.3.4.0.0
    on SCO Openserver running the Enterprise system.


    Workaround
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    There are two possible workarounds:

    1) Install the SCO Development Kit.  An Additional license is required from
        SCO.  This installs the C compiler and additional development tools.

    2) Obtain the 'SCO_V734_INSTALL.tar' from Oracle Support Services(OSS).  This tar file
        contains the following files:

        - $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/ins_rdbms.mk
        - $ORACLE_HOME/network/ins_network.mk
        - $ORACLE_HOME/svrmgr/ins_svrmgr.mk
        - $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/env_rdbms.mk
        - $ORACLE_HOME/network/env_network.mk
        - $ORACLE_HOME/svrmgr/env_svrmgr.mk
        - inst.sh
        - README

        - untar the file into the /tmp directory and follow the README file
          suppiled.
        - During the installation select 'no' when asked to relink Oracle
          product executables.  Ignore any errors that mention the executables
          for the RDBMS were not made successfully

    Hope this helps.
