Installing Oracle Calendar on Fedora GNU/Linux

The whole reason I was inspired to create this blog is that I installed Oracle Calendar client on a Linux box for the third time and decided to document the process since I'm sure I'll have to do it again.

Now, unfortunately, I'm at home and can't remember what the steps were. :-) I'll try to remember to do it tomorrow.

[time passes . . .]

Okay, it's tomorrow.

Including a compile time directive that I found online, here's what I did:

cp cal_linux cal_linux.bak
cat cal_linux.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > cal_linux
yum whatprovides libXp.so.6
yum install libXp.i386
./gui_install.sh
exit
ocal
yum whatprovides libstdc++.so.6
yum whatprovides libstdc++.so.5
yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i386
ocal

:-) Some of that was unnecessary. The necessary parts are:

cp cal_linux cal_linux.bak
cat cal_linux.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > cal_linux
yum install libXp.i386
yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i386

I installed it in /opt and created a symbolic link to "ocal" in "/usr/local/bin".

ln -s /usr/local/bin/ocal /opt/OracleCalendar/bin/ocal.sh
