Hello All,
Please bear with me as I am not quite sure which is the correct list to
post this to. I am divided on whether freebsd-database or freebsd-isp
would be the most appropriate. I have CCed this to exim-users list.
Thank you.
I have installed Oracle 9i on FreeBSD (5.1-REL) successfully. The aim
was to kill two birds with the same stone, but unfortunately it looks
like I didn't aim well enough to get the two birds:
Bird 1: Compile Exim MTA with Oracle Support
Bird 2: Learn a few things about Oracle.
Now I got to a point where I am compiling Exim with support for Oracle (
besides MySQL and Perl) and this is where problems have sprung up.
When I build Exim, I get this warning:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libc.so.6, needed by
/shared/oracle9/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/lib/libclntsh.so, may
conflict with libc.so.5
Now from what I can see, libc.so.6 comes from the linux-devtools while
libc.so.5 is native to FreeBSD.
I compiled, but there really seems to be a problem which I "think" is a
result of the warning above: I get so much garbage outputted when I run
even a simple test like `exim -bV`. In trying to isolate the problem,
I did separate build while switching on options one by one. I discovered
the following
(a) Exim+MySQL+Perl = OK.
(b) Exim+Oracle+Perl = NOT OK.
(c) Exim+Oracle+MySQL = NOT OK.
Not okay means I see the outputted garbage! I'm not an expert but I am
naively attributing this to the libc conflicts;)
My questions:
1. Is there any way to do this cleanly to avoid anything that
may be consequent upon the warning about libc conflicts?
2. Has anyone succeeded with a similar setup.
Thank you for any pointers.
-Wash
