Applies to:

            Oracle Enterprise Linux – Version: 7 64-bit

Description:

            I am going to install Oracle Database 11gR2 on OEL-7 64-bit but Oracle Universal Installer going to fail with following error messages in installAction.log file:

Error Message: PRVF-7532: Package “elfutils-libelf-devel” is missing

Error Message: PRVF-7532: Package “pdksh” is missing

Solution:

            You can resolved the above issue by following simple steps:

·         Copy the Oracle Database source media from DVD to local Disk <path>/database

·         Go to the path:

cd <path>/database/stage/cvu/cv/admin

·         Backup cvu_config file:

cp cvu_config cvu_config_bak

·         Edit the cvu_config file and change the following line:

CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL4

To

CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6

·         Save the cvu_config file

·         cd <path>/database

·         ./runInstaller

Now it is working fine and complete the installation successfully.
