Changes


New installation.


Cause


The output of the link command shows that the compiler is looking for sys/types.h.
Package glibc-headers-* is not installed which cause header file (/usr/include/sys/types.h) missing on the system.


Solution


Install the missing package glibc-headers-* (ie, glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.13).

Reinstall CRS (recommended) after clean up existing installation per ​​​Note 239998.1​​​ 10g RAC: How to Clean Up After a Failed CRS Install
or
Execute commands in $ORA_CRS_HOME/install/make.log manually for client relink.
