I recently installed Oracle DB 10.2.0.1 RAC (two nodes) on Oracle Enterprise Linux x86_64 and faced three issues. Since I had to dig out at several places, I thought it might benefit others to have my notes all here.

Facts

1. OS : OEL 4 — 2.6.9-67.0.0.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Sun
2. 2 Node RAC Install
3. Clusterware / RDBMS - 10.2.0.1

Issue 1: Error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5 during root.sh run on first node.
