Oracle enterprise linux 64 bit
The Linux distributions and packages listed in this section are supported for this release on x86-64.
Identify the requirements for your Linux distribution, and ensure that you have a supported kernel and required packages installed before starting installation.
- Oracle Universal Installer requires an X Window System (for example, libx ). The libx packages are part of a default Linux installation. If you perform an installation on a system with a reduced set of packages, then you must ensure that libx or a similar X Window System package is installed.
- The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Oracle Linux can be installed on x86-64 servers running either Oracle Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. As of Oracle Linux 5 Update 6, the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is the default system kernel. An x86 (32-bit) release of Oracle Linux including the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is available with Oracle Linux 5 update 7 and later.
- 32-bit packages in these requirements lists are needed only if you intend to use 32-bit client applications to access 64-bit servers.
- Oracle Database 12 c Release 2 (12.2) and later does not require the compiler packages gcc and gcc-c++ on Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Oracle Database or Oracle Grid Infrastructure installations.
