Installing Oracle Calendar Desktop Client for Linux

• Get the Oracle Calendar Linux Desktop Client
• Copy and unpack the distribution archive in a directory.
  /usr/local is the sample directory used in the following instructions.
  

  
      cp cal_linux_1012.tar.gz /usr/local
      gtar zxvf /usr/local/cal_linux_1012.tar.gz
  

• Change to the OracleCalendar_inst directory.

    cd OracleCalendar_inst

• If the installation on a newer Linux platform (FC5, Gentoo 2006 osv)
  is failing, apply the following patch:

  
      cp cal_linux cal_linux.bak
      cat cal_linux.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > cal_linux
  

• Run ./gui_install.sh to launch the Linux Client
• Follow instructions 2--12 on Mac page
