1149.0. "Error during install." by 10245::COBROWN (Colin from Danmark) Wed Apr 09 1997 13:09

    Using SQL*Net 2.1.3.0.1 on AXP to access Oracle7 on NT.                         
    Local version of Oracle7 is 7.1.3.2.0.                                          
    Message is displayed that Oracle V7 is required.                                
    Then install creates a number of files and aborts with error               
    that it cannot find LDRV$ORACLE_SHR.EXE which it is in the process of
    linking.     
    Investigation showed that install uses Ora_products(?) to check version
    of RDBMS, but cannot find RDBMS.CTL file in ORA_ROOT:[UTIL].                       
    Copied UTIL.CTL to RDBMS.CTL and all was fine.                                  
    
    Is this a known? A bug? Or is there something seriously wrong with this
    site?

1149.1Not a problem - workaround fineBROKE::BITHERFri Apr 11 1997 09:4514
Hi Colin,

The different flavors of Oracle v7 tend to change file locations of
certain files that our gateway depends on.  It is not practical to release
different versions of the gateway for the different v7.#.#.#.# especially
because we don't know what has changed until after it has been released to
the customer base.

The workaround you implemented is exactly what we would recommend.
