The RPM Oracle distributes doesn't publish the Oracle Instant Client libraries.
Thus no other RPM can explicitly depend on it.
We explain here how to build your own RPM that publishes the libraries.
Get the official Oracle Instant Client RPM
Download it from the OTN web site :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
Build your own RPM
- Install the official Oracle RPM :
$ rpm -Uvh oracle-instantclient-basic-10.1.0.3.i386.rpm
- Create a dedicated directory, and copy the
make-oracle-rpm
and oracle-instantclient-lcg.spec
files :
$ mkdir oracle-instantclient/
$ ls oracle-instantclient/
make-oracle-rpm
oracle-instantclient-basic-lcg.spec
- Create the RPM by running :
$ cd oracle-instantclient/
$ ./make-oracle-rpm --version 10.1.0.3
$ ls RPMS/
oracle-instantclient-basic-lcg-10.1.0.3-1_sl3.i386.rpm
