NOTE: This bug is not applicable to 11.22,11.23 The default 64bit OS installation does
not create a few required X library symbolic links. The following symbolic links need to
be created:
cd /usr/lib

** Some Oracle Applications product modules (Discrete Manufacturing (WPS, WIP, ENG) and
Advanced Planning & Scheduling (MSC, MSO, MSR)) are written in C++ and require the C++
compiler to perform the link. If the system where Oracle Applications is being installed has no
other use for the C++ compiler, you can download and install the 60-day trial version of the HP
C/aC++ Developer's Bundle rather than purchasing the full C++ compiler. The linker included in
the Developer's Bundle does not expire and can be used beyond the 60-day trial limitation.

LINUX with RAC

Network Requirements Per node:

1 public network interface (must support TCP/IP)
1 private network interface (must support UDP)

IP address requirements:
An ip addr with associated network name registered in the DNS
1 VIP addr with associated network name registered in the DNS
A private ip addr with a hostname for each private interface

Node Time Requirements Oracle strongly recommends using the

Network Time Protocol feature of most operating systems for this purpose, with all
nodes using the same reference Network Time Protocol server
