Do you have X installed?

Check the following MOS note:

Linking On IBM Power for Linux Errors: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh/user/bin/ld: cannot find -lxl (Doc ID 780931.1)

Yes , I have X installed.

Am not able to follow the MOS note. Can you please share the url of the note.

Check the installation prerequisites (IBM XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0.1 (or higher) for Linux Runtime Environment Component).

Check for the existence of libxl.a.

I have the IBM XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux Runtime Environment.

$ rpm -qa | grep xls
xlsmp.rte-1.5.1-3
xlsmp.msg.rte-1.5.1-3
$ rpm -qa | grep -i vacpp
vacpp.rte-7.0.1-3
$

I don't have the libxl.a file in my server. How can get the libxl.a ? Can you please help ?

I thought libxl.a should be part of some rpm package but i cant find which will have that file.

Thanks for helping me ...

The below rpm package had the libxl.a file which i need :

vac.lib-7.0.1-0.ppc64pseries.rpm
vacpp.rte.lnk-7.0.1-0.ppc64pseries.rpm

Now i successfully installed the Oracle client and its working fine.

Thanks radoulov for you help.
