Note:

• libnsl is no longer available in Oracle Linux 8. Thus, you must install libnsl before you install Oracle Tuxedo 22c.
• The Kerberos Security Plug-in is not supported on this platform.
• ATMI users need a C, C++ or COBOL compiler.
• CORBA C++ users need a C++ compiler and linker.
• For compiler compatibility:

  Look for documentation from the compiler vendor that provides assurance that the version of compiler you want to use is compatible with the tested version of the compiler. The compatibility assurance must be provided for the following:

  • Source code:

    C/C++ source code that was compiled and linked using the tested version, compiles with the newer version of compiler without requiring any changes.

  • Executables and libraries:

    Libraries and executables built using the tested version, run with libraries and executables that are built with the newer version of compilers.
