Install Oracle Calendar 10 on Fedora Core 6

It’s acutally not very stright forward..


su -

With sudo you will get a “bad interpreter: Permission denied” error.
Moving on…

tar zxvf cal_linux_1012.tar.gz
cd OracleCalendar_inst

Here’s come the tricky part

cat cal_linux |sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > cal_linux.new

Now compare the file size, they have to be the same, after that’s done

mv cal_linux cal_linux.old
mv cal_linux.new cal_linux
yum install ncompress
./cal_linux

It will whine about missing libXp.so.6

yum install libXp

Re-run cal_linux binary and now the gui installer will FINALLY run.

Now I acutally miss Outlook/Exchange. Unfortunately at my work, we are cursed with this POS.

    That says a lot Arthur. I was given an account but I’ve never used it, is it that bad?

    “..cursed with this POS” is probably a bit overboard, most likely due to a fact it took me awhile to get this installed. :)
