"make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop."
or something similar?
The problem is due to "relink all" trying relink all the products in the Oracle Home without checking whether they are actually installed or not.
This does not always work as some makefiles take different arguments, and some Oracle Home installations do not have the components installed for which there are makefiles.
This relinking problem has been addressed in 11.2 with the 11.2 installer getting a -relink option.
Assuming you are not using 11.2, then what to do? Well...
I offer this only as what I currently do. I haven't seen this problem properly discussed anwhere, so this is a 'works for me'.
Each Oracle Home has a file:
$ORACLE_HOME/inventory/make/makeorder.xml
This file lists the correct order to run the make files, and the targets to use. From this we can build up a list of makefile commands that should be run.
Alternatively you can run the relink command with all the other valid parameters - some will fail if the component is not installed, but theoretically this should compile everything.
At the moment though I am not 100% confidant this is the case, and so for a bit of paranoid DBA practice I also run the make files as listed in makeorder.xml
IMPORTANT NOTE: After relinking, login as root (or use sudo if configured) to execute the $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh script to reset the appropriate file permissions/flags.
By way of example from my last relink - after upgrading from OEL5 U2 to OEL5 U4:
Note that relinking is done as the oracle home owner, not root.
Step 0: Before doing anything check umask is 022. If not:
$ umask 022
Relink database home works (mostly) but fails on relinking ODBC at the end.
The error that initiated this post: Tried a relink all on an ASM home.
Resulted in
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop."
when trying to link the ODBC driver.
Solution: Well see below, for what I did in teh ASM case, however if you want to relink ODBC this is what I found in a Metalink note:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/odbc/lib
cp $ORACLE_HOME/lib/sqoci.a .
cp $ORACLE_HOME/lib/sqora.a .
cp $ORACLE_HOME/lib/utility.a .
make -f ins_odbc.mk isqora
cp libsqora.so* $ORACLE_HOME/lib
Relink ASM home
