- Known problem if only you talk to the UNIX people, not the TOOLS
- people. Go into the makefile for sqlmenu5 ($ORACLE_HOME/menu5/lib)
-
- -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 10196 Oct 30 14:14 sqlmenu5.mk
-
- and find the line that contains "-lmalloc". REMOVE just the "-lmalloc"
- part leaving behind the remainder of the libraries specified. Now
- relink and install Sql*Menu 5.0 by running (as user oracle) "update install"
- $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/install
- $ oracle.install menu5
-
- Have everyone quit from sqlmenu50/runmenu50 before this, though,
- and make sure you have about 15 megabytes free where /usr/oracle lives.
