Let me know that i need to try reinstall it or any work around can be done.

• jmk: Does the /u01/app/oraInventory/logs/installActions2017-11-09_12-52-50AM.log show any hints? Most likely you are missing some dependencies. Did you install the oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall package? This package is available for 12cR2 and 11gR2, too
• Vérace: Have you carefully read and implemented the prerequisites? It seems the key line is "cannot find -lstdc++_nonshared" - have you investigated this?
• azardin: @Vérace Actually, Prerequisite check is failed, please go through this link dba.stackexchange.com/questions/189465/…
• jmk: @azardin I don't think, that Vérace meant the prerequisite check but the installation prerequisites as per documentation

Answer 1

This is caused by the missing libstdc++ package.

Linking using g++ fails searching for -lstdc++

In your previous question, on your screenshot, you have multiple missing packages, including libstdc++.

• jmk: Note that you need both, 32 and 64 bit packages
• Balazs Papp: @jmk No, you do not. Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2), all the 32-bit packages, except for gcc-32bit-4.3, listed in the following table are no longer required for installing a database on Linux x86-64. Only the 64-bit packages are required. However, for any Oracle Database 11g release before 11.2.0.2, both the 32-bit and 64-bit packages listed in the following table are required.. The question is about 11.2.0.4.
