Changes
This problem will affect 9.2, 10.2 and 11g when applying any one off patch or patchset.
Cause
It looks like IBM renamed the xlC executable to xlc with version 8
My admin assures me it is installed and available but the genoccish
script is hard coded to an upper case 'C'
You can check this with the following commands:
$ lslpp -l | grep xlC
xlC.adt.include 8.0.0.9 COMMITTED C Set ++ Application
xlC.aix50.rte 8.0.0.9 APPLIED C Set ++ Runtime for AIX 5.0
xlC.cpp 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor
xlC.msg.EN_US.cpp 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor
xlC.msg.EN_US.rte 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C Set ++ Runtime
xlC.msg.en_US.cpp 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor
xlC.msg.en_US.rte 8.0.0.9 APPLIED C Set ++ Runtime
xlC.rte 8.0.0.9 APPLIED C Set ++ Runtime
$ which xlc
/usr/vac/bin/xlc
$ which xlC
no xlC in /usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /usr/bin/X11 /sbin /usr/java14/jre/bin /usr/java14/bin /usr/ccs/bin /usr/vac/bin
Solution
1. Set the xlC permissions such that the 'oracle' user can execute this compiler.
2. After including "/usr/vacpp/bin" to $PATH, xlC warning disappeared
You can check this with the command
which xlC
This should return that it has found it in your $PATH.
NOTE: The following step is optional and is creating a link to the new compiler if needed.
ln -s /usr/vac/bin/xlc /usr/vac/bin/xlC
3. The symbolic link will allow the compiler to be found as xlc or xlC
Execute $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genoccish
4. Re-apply the patch or patchset.
