Symptoms
While installing the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 (32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) database software on a
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) server (x86 or x86-64),
the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) reports that packages "elfultils-libelf-devel-0.97" and
"pdksh-5.2.14" are missing.

Cause
OUI executes the following command:
and no output is returned (because in RHEL6 the package redhat-release has been replaced by
redhat-release-server-6Server).
This causes OUI to believe that the server is not a RHEL server.
As OUI can not identify what type of server it is, OUI performs the default (OEL4) prerequisite
checks.
This problem has been logged as unpublished bug 13981169 with Oracle Development.
Solution

If you have received the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 media on DVD,
it will be necessary to copy the media from the DVD to a disk on the RHEL6 server.
If you have downloaded the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 media from My Oracle Support (MOS) then you
extract first the software.
% cp cvu_config backup_cvu_config
CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL4
to:
CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6
% cd <path>/database
% ./runInstaller
OUI should now perform the OEL6 prerequisite checks (which are identical to the RHEL6
prerequisite checks) and
no longer report that packages "elfutils-libelf-devel-0.97" and "pdksh-5.2.14" are missing.
ATTENTION :
About the 32 bit version of soft (x86), in case the problem remains then :
- after manually verifying that all of the requirements have been met,
choose the 'Ignore all' option in the installer and continue with the installation.
