Oracle 8.1.5 - OEM Intelligent Agent, RedHat 6.0 link patch.

This patch is to Oracle 8.1.5 to get the Oracle Enterprise Manager
Intelligent Agent to build correctly on a RedHat 6.1 machine. The
problem is that when you install the OEM Intelligent Agent, the files
are installed but the link files so the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp file is
never created, so when you run a "lsnrctl dbsnmp_start" it fails silently
trying to exec the non-existant file.

Another problem I had: the $ORACLE_HOME/oemagent directory (which is
referenced by the makefiles all over) was never created by the installer,
but everything that should have been there was in $ORACLE_HOME/network.
Solution was to just create a symbolic link from oemagent to network. I'm
not sure if others will have this weird directory problem.

Here are the steps:

(1) Install the package: tcl75lib-7.5p1-0.i386.rpm (which is really tcl75lib.rpm 
    from oracle815-suse62.tar.gz which can be found at 
    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/Oracle/oracle815-suse62.tar.gz
    linked from http://www.suse.de/en/support/oracle/oracle8151_suse63.html)

(2) ln -s network $ORACLE_HOME/oemagent

(3) cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib

(4) patch < this_patch_file

(5) make -f ins_net_client.mk agent

(6) Remember that you may have to modify $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora 
    to specifically reference the databases that you want to run. I did this by
    appending the following info:
    --begin--
    sid_list_listener=
     (sid_list=
      (sid_desc=
       (global_dbname=match.millsmatch.drh.net)
       (sid_name=match)
       (oracle_home=/var/oracle/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5)
      )
     )
    --end--

(7) start the intelligent agent with: lsnrctl dbsnmp_start

That is what worked for me.

NOTICE: THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED SOFTWARE.
   Please don't e-mail me with random questions on how to use this patch. I
   probably don't have the time to reply, and I'm doing my best to help by
   making this patch available. Thank you.
