RE: OT: Perl question
Hi Jared, Thank you for your advice. Without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH before the installation I got the message ld.so.1: perl: fatal: libgdbm.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory during the Configure step. So I tried the installation again and this time not setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH but also ran a truss. I found out that the script tried to open /usr/lib/libdgbm.so.2 (which did not exist), not /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.so.2 (which did exist). So I created a symbolic link from /usr/lib to /usr/local/lib and tried the Configure run again. It worked fine. Thanks Long -Original Message- Sent: Saturday, 16 June 2001 6:16 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sorry to tell you this Long, but the reason you are having this problem is that you compiled Perl by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib. This shouldn't be done. It should be compiled *without* setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, other than for Oracle software. I saw that you did this in a previous post, thought you'd discover it pretty quick. :) You will have to recompile Perl to fix this. I don't recall which option in the configuration you set the libraries at, as it's been a few months since I've had to do it. You can read more about the evils of LD_LIBRARY_PATH at http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~barr/ldpath.html We're stuck with it for Oracle though.

OT: Perl module question
Hi, I am installing a request tracking software (WREQ) which requires Perl 5 with GDBM support. I could not find GDBM_File.pm under /usr/local on my Solaris 2.6 machine. The command perl -e 'use GDBM_File;' gave the message: Can't locate GDBM_File in @INC (@INC contains ) Questions: 1) Do you know if a standard perl installation should contain GDBM_File module? If yes then I will try to re-install the Perl software. 2) I also downloaded Gnu gdbm and installed it on the machine. It seems to install a number of .so and .a files in /usr/local/lib (but I could not find GDBM_File.pm anywhere). Do I need to link the software into Perl somehow so GDBM_File.pm module is created in the Perl library?

Solaris memory usage question
Hi, The "vmstat -s" command shows the number of revolutions of clock hand. My SA says that if it increases by 3 or more per minute (i.e. 1 or more per 20 seconds) thhen it indicates a shortage of real memory. I have searched for information on the clock hand revolutions and have not been able to find it. Could someone explain to me what is is. Many thanks.

RE: Oracle 8i On solaris
I found that the 'oinstall' group causes confusion in term of Unix file permissions. It is still not clear to me what's the advantages of having the 'oinstall' and whether it is a 'must'. Long -Original Message- Sent: Saturday, 24 February 2001 10:11 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Follow the installation guide VERY CAREFULLY. Most people fail to install Oracle on Unix because they don't read the instructions. You must modify kernal parameters and do other Unix admin steps prior to installation. One thing to ignore (at least in my opinion) -- the instruction to create an "oinstall" user. I've found this causes more trouble than it's worth when it comes to patching. Just use the "oracle" user in the "dba" group. Go to technet.oracle.com for the installation guide.

Any Practical documentation or site which could help me on installing and configuring this system will be appreciated. I was away from Unix for a while. I have already checked the Oracle.com.

RE: A basic forms question
Thanks for teh info. Regards Long -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, 21 February 2001 11:46 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You'll get those messages when the calling form's FMX was created with a newer version of Oracle Forms than the called form's FMX. Maybe the calling form was converted to Forms 6 and the called form is still in Forms 5 format. Just re-compile the older FMB using Forms 6 (or whatever your most current version is) and you should be able to run the form. -Original Message- From: Nguyen, Long [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 10:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: A basic forms question Hi, A user aksed me (a DBA) the question below about forms: I have been trying to open some Oracle forms but it always gives me this message: "form was created by an old version of form builder" or "cannot open form".

RE: A Solaris question on memory usage
Thanks David. You are right, I did not notice that the private figure actually included the SGA size as well. Regards Long -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, 8 February 2001 7:55 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Long pmap seems to include portions of the SGA in the Private and Resident columns, not the Shared one. On solaris, this shows up as a line with (shmid=0x...) in the Mapped File column. To get a more sensible memory usage, I suppose that you would have to subtract these from total (the size is different for background and user processes ) and then add the size of the SGA once. Regards David Lord -Original Message- Sent: 08 February 2001 04:35 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Good day, I am looking at how Oracle and other applications running on a Solaris 2.6 server are using memory. The server has 512 MB of RAM. I issued the "/usr/proc/bin/pmap $pid" command to display memory usage info and used the figure from the "total KB" line of the output (the last line of the output). When I add up the figures for all Oracle processes the sum of the Private areas for all Oracle processes on teh system is 1.5 GB. I do not understand this. How can this be greater than the physical RAM amount (which is 512 MB)? As I understand the Private amount is the Resident amount less the Shared amount, so the Private amount for a process would be the physical memory amount used exclusive by the process and not shared with other processes. If you could help me to understand more about this stuff, very much appreciate. I am trying to see if we need to up the RAM on the system.
