Solution:

11.2.0.3 Installation failed on RHEL 6 with the error libraries: libmpfr.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (Doc ID 1543787.1)

1. Check if library file exist

$cd /usr/lib64

$ls -la libmpfr*

Expected output:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 6 2012 libmpfr.so.1 -> libmpfr.so.1.2.0*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 321064 Jul 24 2010 libmpfr.so.1.2.0*

2. Check for missing mpfr package by below

$rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.1

$rpm -q mpfr-2.4.1-6.el6.x86_64

Expected output is as below

$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.1

mpfr-2.4.1-6.el6.x86_64

$ rpm -q mpfr-2.4.1-6.el6.x86_64

mpfr-2.4.1-6.el6.x86_64

3. If the output is not as expected then Install package mpfr by below and retry the installation.

$yum install mpfr-2.4.1-6.el6.x86_64

Solution:

Make sure you are installing 64 bit oracle on your 64 bit linux; 32 bit oracle software on your 32 bit linux software. If you don't do "Error in invoking target 'client_sharedlib' of makefile" will likely be the problem. So before proceed ensure your hardware platform, linux platform and oracle software. Identified these things are discussed detail in

EBS : View the concurrent output files .pdf .excel in the clone instance

The solution to view the output files is to update the tables fnd_conc_req_outputs, fnd_concurrent_requests.

1. Create the backup of both the tables fnd_conc_req_outputs, fnd_concurrent_requests

create table fnd_conc_req_outputs_bkp as select * from fnd_conc_req_outputs;

create table fnd_concurrent_requests_bkp as select * from fnd_concurrent_requests;

2. Update the columns in both the tables listed below accordingly.

fnd_concurrent_requests
Column Name	Value
file_name	OS file path for output logfile
file_node_name	node name
fnd_conc_req_outputs
Column Name	Value
logfile_name	OS file path for request logfile
logfile_node_name	node name
outfile_node_name	node name
outfile_name	OS file path for output logfile

3. Update statements:

update fnd_conc_req_outputs set file_name=replace(file_name,'/oraapps/prod/prodcomn','/oraapps/dev/devcomn'), file_node_name='DEV';

commit;

update fnd_concurrent_requests set

logfile_name=replace(logfile_name,'/oraapps/prod/prodcomn','/oraapps/dev/devcomn'),

logfile_node_name='DEV', outfile_node_name='DEV',

outfile_name=replace(outfile_name,'/oraapps/prod/prodcomn','/oraapps/dev/devcomn') where logfile_name like '%prod%';

commit;
