Oracle 12c Pre-requisites
Installing any Oracle database is tedious, but the installing the prerequisites can be especially tedious. This post tries to simplify the process by creating a single prereq.sh file for all the prerequisite libraries, except for the oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall, which you should run after the prerequisite file.
The prerequisite file should contain the following:
yum install -y binutils \ compat-libstdc++-33 \ compat-libstdc++-33.i686 \ gcc \ gcc-c++ \ glibc \ glibc.i686 \ glibc-devel \ glibc-devel.i686 \ ksh \ libgcc \ libgcc.i686 \ libstdc++ \ libstdc++.i686 \ libstdc++-devel \ libstdc++-devel.i686 \ libaio \ libaio.i686 \ libaio-devel \ libaio-devel.i686 \ libXext \ libXext.i686 \ libXtst \ libXtst.i686 \ libX11 \ libX11.i686 \ libXau \ libXau.i686 \ libxcb \ libxcb.i686 \ libXi \ libXi.i686 \ make \ sysstat \ unixODBC \ unixODBC-devel \ zlib-devel \ zlib-devel.i686 |
You can run the prereq.sh script as the root user like you would source an environment file:
. ./prereq.sh |
Dependent upon what you installed when creating the Oracle Linux 7.1 operating system, you should see something like this in the output console:

After you have installed the prerequisites, you install the oracle-dbms-server-12cR1-preinstall library as the root user. You run the command as the root user like this:
yum install -y oracle-dbms-server-12cR1-preinstall |
You should see the following when it’s successful:

After running the oracle-dbms-server-12cR1-preinstall library, you can navigate through the Applications, Sundry, and Users and Groups to see the following dialog:
It’s hard to tell from the GUI the oracle user’s group. You can find oracle primary user’s group by checking the /etc/passwd file. You will find that oinstall is the primary user’s group.
As always, I hope this helps those trying to install an Oracle Database 12c instance. Please post a comment if you have a better way to load the pre-requisite packages.

When you launch the gedit utility, you click on the
Gedit Plug-in Installation
- After you install the Gedit Plug-ins, you can configure the plug-ins by launching Gedit and then click on the
geditmenu option. Then, click on the Preferences menu option to enable the new plugins, like the Embedded Terminal plug-in.
- You have four tab options when working with the Preferences menu. The first tab is the View tab, as shown to the left.
- The second tab is the Editor tab, as shown to the left.
- The third tab is the Font & Colors tab, as shown to the left.
- The fourth tab is the Plugins tab, as shown to the left. Scroll down the list and check the Embedded Terminal and Python Console plug-ins’ checkbox. The Embedded Terminal lets you edit a file and have command line access to a Terminal session from the
geditmenu; and the Python Console session from thegeditmenu.
- Click on the View menu, and then choose the Bottom Panel menu option.
- After enabling the Bottom Panel in the Gedit menu, you can edit a file and click on the Terminal by simply clicking on the subpanel. You can see the split image on the left. There’s also a set of bottom tabs that lets you switch from a Linux Terminal session to the Python console.
As always, I hope this helps those working with gedit on the Fedora operating system.
C Shared Libraries
I wrote a shared C library example to demonstrate external procedures in the Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming book. I also reused the same example to demonstrate Oracle’s external procedures in the Oracle Database 12c PL/SQL Advanced Programming Techniques book last year. The example uses a C Shared Library but a PL/SQL wrapper and PL/SQL test case.
One of my students asked me to simplify the unit test case example by writing the complete unit test in the C Progamming Language. The student request seemed like a good idea, and while poking around on the web it appears there’s a strong case for a set of simple shared C library examples. This blog post isn’t meant to replace the C Programming web site and C Programming Tutorial web site, which I recommend as a great reference point.
Like most things, the best place to start is with basics of C programming because some readers may be very new to C programming. I’ll start with basic standalone programs and how to use the gcc compiler before showing you how to use shared C libraries.
The most basic program is a hello.c program that serves as a “Hello World!” program:
1 2 3 4 5 | #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); return(0); } |
Assuming you put the C source files in a src subdirectory and the executable files in a bin subdirectory. You compile the program with the gcc program from the parent directory of the src and bin subdirectories, as follows:
gcc -o bin/hello src/hello.c |
Then, you execute the hello executable program from the parent directory as follows:
bin/hello |
It prints:
Hello World! |
You can modify the basic Hello World! program to accept a single input word, like this hello_whom.c program:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | #include <stdio.h> /* The executable main method. */ int main() { // Declare a character array to hold an input value. char whom[30]; /* Print a question and read a string input. */ printf("Who are you? "); scanf("%s", whom); printf("Hello %s!\n", whom); return(0); } |
You can compile the hello_whom.c program as follows:
gcc -o bin/hello_whom src/hello_whom.c |
Then, you execute the hello_whom executable program from the parent directory as follows:
bin/hello_whom
Who are you? Stuart |
It prints:
Hello Stuart! |
Alternatively, you can modify the hello_whom.c program to accept a stream of text, like the following hello_string.c program:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | #include <stdio.h> /* The executable main method. */ int main() { // Declare a character array to hold an input name. char phrase[4000]; /* Print a question and read a string input. */ printf("Hello? "); scanf("%[^\n]%*c", phrase); printf("Hello %s!\n", phrase); return(0); } |
The [] is the scan set character. The [^\n] on line 10 defines the input as not a newline with a white space, and the %*c reads the newline character from the input buffer. After you compile the program you can call it like this:
bin/hello_string
Hello? there, it reads like a C++ stream |

Hello there, it reads like a C++ stream! |
These example, like the previous examples, assume the source files are in a src subdirectory and the executable files are in the bin subdirectory. All compilation commands are run from the parent directory of the src and bin subdirectories.
The first example puts everything into a single writingstr.c file. It defines a writestr() function prototype before the main() function and the writestr() function after the main() function.
The code follows below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | #include <stdio.h> /* Declare two integer variables. */ char path[255], message[4000]; /* Define a prototype for the writestr() function. */ void writestr(char *path, char *message); /* The executable main method. */ int main() { printf("Enter file name and message: "); scanf("%s %[^\n]%*c", &path, &message); printf("File name: %s\n", path); printf("File content: %s\n", message); writestr(path, message); return(0); } void writestr(char *path, char *message) { FILE *file_name; file_name = fopen(path,"w"); fprintf(file_name,"%s\n",message); fclose(file_name); } |
You can compile the writingstr.c function with the following syntax:
gcc -o bin/writingstr src/writingstr.c |
You can run the writingstr executable file with the following syntax:
bin/writingstr Enter file name and message: /home/student/Code/c/test.txt A string for a file. File name: /home/student/Code/c/test.txt File content: A string for a file. |
You’ll find a test.txt file written to the /home/student/Code/C directory. The file contains only the single sentence fragment entered above.
Now, let’s create a writestr.h header file, a writestr.c shared object file, and a main.c testing file. You should note a pattern between the self-contained code and the approach for using shared libraries. The prototype of the writestr() function becomes the definition of the writestr.h file, and the implementation of the writestr() function becomes the writestr.so shared library.
The main.c file contains the only the main() function from the writingstr.c file. The main() function uses the standard scanf() function to read a fully qualified file name (also known as a path) as a string and then a text stream for the content of the file.
You define the writestr.h header file as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | #ifndef writestr_h__ #define writestr_h__ extern void writestr(char *path, char *message); #endif |
You define the writestr.c shared library, which differs from the example in the book. The difference is the #include statement of the writestr.h header file. The source code follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | #include <stdio.h> #include "writestr.h" void writestr(char *path, char *message) { FILE *file_name; file_name = fopen(path,"w"); fprintf(file_name,"%s\n",message); fclose(file_name); } |
You define the main.c testing program as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | #include <stdio.h> #include "writestr.h" /* Declare two integer variables. */ char path[255], message[4000]; /* The executable main method. */ int main() { printf("Enter file name and message: "); scanf("%s %[^\n]%*c", &path, &message); writestr(path, message); return(0); } |
Before you begin the process to compile these, you should create an environment file that sets the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or add it to your .bashrc file. You should point the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to the directory where you’ve put your shared libraries.
# Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/student/Code/c/trylib/libfile |
With programs defined, you need to first compile the writestr.c shared library first. You use the following syntax from the parent directory of the src and bin subdirectories.
gcc -shared -fPIC -o bin/writestr.so src/writestr.c |
If you haven’t set the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you may raise an exception. There’s also an alternative to setting the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH before you call the gcc executable. You can use the -L option set the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH for a given all to the gcc executable, like:
gcc -L /home/student/Code/c/trylib/libfile -shared -fPIC -o bin/writestr.so src/writestr.c |
Then, you compile the main.c program. You must put the writestr.so shared library before you designate the main target object and main.c source files, like this:
gcc bin/writestr.so -o bin/main src/main.c |
Now, you can perform a C-only unit test case by calling the main executable. However, you must have set the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable at runtime too. You see the following reply to the “Enter file name and message” question when you run the main program unit:
bin/main Enter file name and message: /home/student/Code/c/trylib/libfile/test.txt A long native string is the second input to this C program. |
You can now see that the a new test.txt file has been written to the target directory, and that it contains the following string:
A long native string is the second input to this C program. |
As always, I hope this helps those you want to write shared libraries in the C programming language.
Find a string in files
From time to time, folks ask questions about how to solve common problems in Linux or Unix. Today, the question is: “How do I find a list of files that contain a specific string?” There are two alternatives with the find command, and the following sample searches look for files that contain a sqlite3 string literal.
- Search for only the file names:
find . -type f | xargs grep -li sqlite3 |
Or, the more verbose:
find . -type f -exec grep -li sqlite3 /dev/null {} + |
- Search for the file names and text line:
find . -type f | xargs grep -i sqlite3 |
Or, the more verbose:
find . -type f -exec grep -i sqlite3 /dev/null {} + |
Don’t exclude the /dev/null from the verbose syntax or you’ll get the things you lack permissions to inspect or that raise other errors. I don’t post a lot of Linux or Unix tips and techniques, and you may find this site more useful to answer these types of questions:
