Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 installation on Fedora 5

[oracleBugZilla]

Hi everybody!
It seems like I don't have much luck with Oracle!
I've installed Oracle database 9i on my fedora box,
I've also successfully installed the most difficult Oracle AS 10.1.3.1 (or something)
on the same linux host.
Now I'm struggling to install Oracle Developer Suite, but I always
come across the same error:
/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to« __fprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4 »
/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to « __stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4 »
/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to « __sprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4 »
This occurs during the compilation of rwbuilder in the ins_reports.mk make file.
I should also mention that the preinstallation gcc checp up was successfull:
Here is the log for pre-installation check up:

(I hope you won't be confused with the english/french mixup, since the actual output was in french, and I had to translate it).

So is there any guru out there who can sort this out?
I've found the same error posted on different forums, but no answer, It is not
a Developer Suite bug?
Thanks for all.

Hi!
I think I've got the solution to the above problem.
It has something to do with the xorg-x11-libs libraries.
So what I did was as follows:
- downloaded and install xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm (from Fedora 3 CD repository).
#>rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
- redirected current libXtst.so to the new libXtst.so* installed in /usr/X11R6/lib, but didn't delete the files for possible backup:
#>mv /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst_so_6_1 # replaced '.' with '_'
#>ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6.1
- Gone to $ORACLE_HOME/bin (home where oracle dev is installed), and executed:
#>./relink all &> ../install/make.log
- Read the make.log file to detect any possible errors
- And the libXtst.so.6 linking problem was gone!!!
I hope this will help anybody with the same problem.

Hey, that was just what I needed - thanks!

I am using RHEL5, and I got the latest xorg-x11-libs package from RHEL4 and applied your fix to get this to work for me. The only thing I had to change was the version number of the actual libXtst library file in /usr/lib, which was 6.1.0 instead of just 6.1.

I was mid-way through the install of Oracle Developer Suite, and I just left the error message on the screen while I applied the fix, then used the "Retry" button. That seems to have worked (compilation and installation continued without errors but I've yet to properly test the developer tools).

Hi!

Nice one oracleBugZilla - you saved me hours!

This fix works for OAS 10.2.0.2 also - I got the same error while linking the reports libraries, mid-tier install.
