To fix the issue, issue the following commands after unpacking the tar file, but prior to executing.

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

FC6 and Non Standard Image Issues

If you are not running the standard image, or are running FC6, and you are still having problems, please ensure that you have compat-libstdc++-33 in order to run Calendar.   FC6 users, please note that you will also need to install libXp BEFORE running the oracle calendar installer.

You can install these programs with:

$ sudo yum install libXp compat-libstdc++-33

Users without compat-libstdc++-33 will see the following error when trying to run Oracle Calendar:

$ /usr/local/bin/ocal

Starting Oracle Calendar for Linux

/usr/share/OracleCalendar/bin/Ocal: error while loading shared 
libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory 
 

FC6 users who do not have libXp installed will see the following error during the installation process:
