This is a short post to help out any possible “googlers” looking for an answer to why their 12.1.0.5 EM Cloud Control install is failing in the make phase with ins_calypso.mk.

Note, this EM install was taking place on an Oracle Linux 7.1 host.

The following snippet shows the text that was displayed in the dialogue box when the error was hit:

INFO: 11/12/15 12:10:37 PM PST: ----------------------------------
INFO: 11/12/15 12:10:37 PM PST: Exception thrown from action: make
Exception Name: MakefileException
Exception String: Error in invoking target 'install' of makefile '/home/oracle/app/oracle/oms12cr5/Oracle_WT/webcache/lib/ins_calypso.mk'. See '/home/oracle/oraInventory/logs/cloneActions2015-11-12_12-10-18-PM.log' for details.
Exception Severity: 1

Click "Retry" to try again.
Click "Ignore" to ignore this error and go on.
Click "Cancel" to stop this installation.
INFO: 11/12/15 12:20:14 PM PST: The output of this make operation is also available at: '/home/oracle/app/oracle/oms12cr5/Oracle_WT/install/make.log'

The following shows the simple fix:

$
$ diff ./app/oracle/oms12cr5/Oracle_WT/lib/sysliblist.orig ./app/oracle/oms12cr5/Oracle_WT/lib/sysliblist
1c1
< -ldl -lm -lpthread -lnsl -lirc -lipgo --- > -ldl -lm -lpthread -lnsl -lirc -lipgo -ldms2
$
$

So if this error hath made at least one googler less crabby I’ll consider this installment in the Little Things Doth Crabby Make series all worth it.
