Oracle 19c runInstaller failed with "undefined reference to 'jox_eujs_nowait_'"

Updated on Thursday, Oct 21, 2021 with following,

The error is also found with RU 19.13 (19.13.0.0.211019).
I believe it is same thing with 19.12, though I did not test it.

When installing Oracle 19c with patch apply of Database RU 19.11 and OJVM RU 19.11, runInstaller failed with message

   Error in invoking target 'irman ioracle idrdactl idrdalsnr idrdaproc' of makefile '/u01/app/oracle/product/19.11.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk'. See /u01/app/oraInventory/logs/InstallActions2021-05-01_08-40-24PM/installActions2021-05-01_08-40-24PM.log for details.

The error can be reproduced on Linux x86_64 (RU 19.11 is not released for other platforms yet) as following,

  1. Unzip 19c base installation media 19.3 to new created home

  2. Under new home, replace original OPatch 12.2.0.1.17 with OPatch 12.2.0.1.24

  3. Unzip 19c Database Release Update 19.11.0.0.210420 (Patch 32545013 ) to a separate directory  /stage/ru

  4. Unzip 19c Oracle JavaVM Component Release Update 19.11.0.0.210420 (Patch 32399816) to a separate  directory /stage/ojvm

  5. Start runInstaller from new home with -applyRU and -applyOneOffs options

     ./runInstaller -applyRU /stage/ru/32545013 -applyOneOffs /stage/ojvm/32399816

It is reported as a bug. Before the bug fix is released, the workaround is to run installer without OJVM RU 19.11 and apply it separately after installation.
