collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Below error occurs during relink while applying the patch in oracle database.

Error:- 

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/data02/1124home/sysman/lib/libnmemso.so] Error 1
make: *** [libnmemso] Error 2


Solution:-

To resolve the issue, execute the following steps:

Continue with the patch installation when you receive thie error and complete it.

Search for file libjava.so on the server.

For  example you find it  under the following directory

$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/i386  or you may use $ find $ORACLE_HOME -name "*libjava*" -exec ls -lart {} \;

In case of 64 bit Operation system amd64 instead of i386.

eg. $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/amd64

Backup and edit $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/lib/env_sysman.mk or $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/lib/env_emagent.mk


Change : JRE_LIB_DIR=%JRE_HOME%/bin
To     : JRE_LIB_DIR=$(ORACLE_HOME)/jdk/jre/lib/i386   << Incase of 64bit you may have to replace i386 with amd64

Issue the failed relink command:
 
% make -f ins_sysman.mk relink_sharedobj SHAREDOBJ=libnmemso
