How To Install Libiconv Red Hat

  1. Instead of building a 32bit machine, I'd prefer to install 32bit libraries on top of the existing centos 6.6_64bit os. I fairly confident it can be done, as I was forwarded a link to RHEL knowledge base topic, which I cannot access.
  2. Issue with installing rpm in AIX 6.1 I am trying to install an rpm: libiconv-1.14-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm which is a dependency to install GIT. While I gave the command I got the foll message.
  3. Jan 02, 2019  Hi Guys Can any one please tell me how to install iconv package on Linux. Below is my linux version Linux 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Feb 17 16:51:01 EST 2012 x86.

Chapter 5, 'Installing Oracle R Enterprise on Exadata'

3.1 About R and Oracle R Enterprise

Oracle R Enterprise requires an installation of R on the server computer and on each client computer that interacts with the server. R is third-party, open source software. Open source R is governed by GNU General Public License (GPL) and not by Oracle licensing.

See Also:

  • Table 1-2, 'Oracle R Enterprise Server Support Matrix' for the versions of R that are supported with Oracle R Enterprise

  • R Project for Statistical Computing at http://www.r-project.org

3.1.1 About ROracle

ROracle is an open source R package that enables interaction between R and an Oracle database. ROracle is maintained and supported by Oracle.

ROracle is one of the open source supporting packages that is used by Oracle R Enterprise. The supporting packages are introduced in Section 1.2 and described in Table 6-2.

3.1.2 Oracle R Distribution and Oracle R Enterprise

Oracle recommends that you use Oracle R Distribution, Oracle's free distribution of R, with Oracle R Enterprise. Oracle R Distribution offers significant advantages for Oracle R Enterprise.

Why Oracle R Distribution?

  • Oracle R Distribution simplifies the installation of R for Oracle R Enterprise.

  • Oracle R Distribution is supported by Oracle for customers of Oracle Advanced Analytics, Oracle Linux, and Oracle Big Data Appliance.

  • On Windows and Linux, Oracle R Distribution simplifies integration with the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). MKL greatly improves the performance of many mathematical computations in R, including highly vectorized and threaded Linear Algebra, Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT), Vector Math, and Statistics functions. (See Section 3.6, 'Configuring Oracle R Distribution to Use MKL on the Client'.)

  • On Oracle Solaris, Oracle R Distribution automatically uses Sun Performance Library. Like MKL for Linux and Windows, Sun Performance Library offers improved performance of many mathematical computations. Sun Performance Library is part of Oracle Solaris Studio.

3.1.3 Open Source R and Oracle R Enterprise

Although Oracle recommends that you use Oracle R Distribution whenever possible, you can use open source R with Oracle R Enterprise. If you choose to use open source R, then you must build it from source. Use the following configuration parameters:

See Also:

  • The R Installation and Administration manual for information about building R from source:

  • ”Using a Third-Party Package on the Client” in Oracle R Enterprise User's Guide

  • ”Installing a Third-Party Package for Use in Embedded R Execution” in Oracle R Enterprise User's Guide

3.2 Installing Oracle R Distribution on Linux

You can install Oracle R Distribution on Oracle Linux and on Redhat Enterprise Linux. Before you begin the installation, verify that your Linux version is supported by Oracle R Enterprise, as described in Table 1-1, 'Oracle R Enterprise Platform Requirements'.You can use this command to verify the Linux version:

Note:

For Oracle Linux systems that have access to the internet, Oracle recommends installing Oracle R Distribution from the Oracle public yum server at the following URL:

This topic contains these sections:

3.2.1 Installing Oracle R Distribution on Oracle Linux Using Yum

Oracle recommends that you use yum to install Oracle R Distribution. Yum simplifies the installation of Oracle R Distribution by automatically resolving RPM dependencies. If you install the RPMs directly as shown in Section 3.2.2, then you must resolve dependencies manually.

To install Oracle R Distribution on Oracle Linux Using Yum:

  1. Log in to the Linux server as root and change to the /etc/yum.repos.d directory:

  2. List the contents of the directory to determine if the yum configuration file is present. The name of the configuration file is public-yum-xxx.repo, where xxx is either el5, for Oracle Linux 5, 0l6 for Oracle Linux 6, or 0l7, for Oracle Linux 7.

    If the yum configuration file is not present, then download it from Oracle public yum by executing the wget command for your Linux platform:

    or

    or

  3. Open public-yum-xxx.repo in a text editor and specify enabled=1 for xxx_latest and xxx_addons, where xxx indicates the version of Linux, either el5, ol6, or ol7:

    Also, for Oracle Linux 7 only:

    The location of the Oracle R Distribution packages is specified in xxx_addons. The location of the dependencies for the Oracle R Distribution RPMs is specified in xxx_latest. For Oracle Linux 7 only, several dependencies are in optional_latest.

    The URLs for the Oracle R Distribution RPMs in the addons repository are shown in Example 3-1. Specify 3.1.1-2 if Rversion is 3.1.1. Specify 3.0.1-2 if Rversion is 3.0.1.

    Example 3-1 Oracle R Distribution RPMs in addons Repository

    Oracle Linux 5:

    Oracle Linux 6:

    Oracle Linux 7:

    Note:

    If you are not using the most recent version of Oracle Linux and you want to install dependent packages that are specific to your version, then you must enable the corresponding Oracle Linux repository.

    For example, to enable the Oracle Linux 5.8 repository instead of the latest repository, follow these steps:

    1. Open the yum configuration file for Oracle Linux 5 in an editor.

    2. Locate the section for Oracle Linux 5, update 8.

    3. Change enabled=0 to enabled=1.

      The result looks like this:

  4. Execute the yum install command to install R. Specify 3.0.1 or 3.1.1 for Rversion

    To install the most recent version of R that is available on Oracle public yum:

    Note:

    Do not assume that the most recent version of R on Oracle public yum is supported by your version of Oracle R Enterprise. Consult Table 1-2, 'Oracle R Enterprise Server Support Matrix' to determine which version of R you should use.

3.2.2 Installing Oracle R Distribution on Oracle Linux Using RPMs

How To Install Libiconv Red Hat Amphitheater

Someone has told me how to work around the problem. Just want to put this back to the post.In the file configure, you can remove the lines that generates the error. In this case,This prevents configure from aborting. You also need to make sure the path is defined for your newly compiled libiconv library before you run configure for glib. Like:I'm able to cross-compile now, but don't have the hardware to test yet so not sure if everything is correct.
I have seen other posting related to similar problem, but haven't come across the answer yet.I'm trying to cross compile GTK+ 2.4.4 for uClinux running on the ARM, using a Redhat Linux system. I'm using the compilers CC=arm-elf-gcc and CXX=arm-elf-g++. Here are 2 issues:I can configure, make and make install libiconv with no error. If I run configure with the --host=arm or even --host=i686 option, no .so file is generated in the library (only .a and .al files). If I don't use the --host= option and use the normal gcc and g++ compiler, the .so files will be created in the library. Why is that? Do I not need the .so library files if I'm cross compiling?Even through I have installed libiconv, and set up all the paths, configure will not find it. This problem only occurs if I'm using the cross compiler. The normal compiler works fine, since libiconv is included in the system already. This error message...I tried glib 2.6.1 but it has the same problem. Any suggestion on how to make configure see the libiconv?
