Oracle Grid Cloud Control 12c BP1 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1

I have installed it in my test box and I hit a problem with auto-discovery due to missing libssl.so library for nmap. Issue is very easy to fix using common Linux troubleshooting approach. First what versions I'm using:
[root@oem-server ~]# cat /etc/oracle-release
Oracle Linux Server release 6.1
[root@oem-server ~]# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.0-fips 29 Mar 2010
[root@oem-server ~]# yum list | grep -e "^openssl"
openssl.x86_64                           1.0.0-20.el6_2.5            @ol6_latest
openssl.i686                             1.0.0-20.el6_2.5            ol6_latest
openssl-devel.i686                       1.0.0-20.el6_2.5            ol6_latest
openssl-devel.x86_64                     1.0.0-20.el6_2.5            ol6_latest
openssl-perl.x86_64                      1.0.0-20.el6_2.5            ol6_latest
openssl-static.x86_64                    1.0.0-20.el6_2.5            ol6_latest
openssl098e.i686                         0.9.8e-17.0.1.el6_2.2       ol6_latest
openssl098e.x86_64                       0.9.8e-17.0.1.el6_2.2       ol6_latest
Now what kind of issue I had
[root@oem-server ~]# /u01/Middleware/agent/agent_inst/discovery/nmap/bin/nmap
/u01/Middleware/agent/agent_inst/discovery/nmap/bin/nmap: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
How I fixed it

        libselinux.so.1 => /lib64/libselinux.so.1 (0x0000003d41c00000)
Now it is working
[oracle@oem-server ~]$ /u01/Middleware/agent/agent_inst/discovery/nmap/bin/nmap -v

Starting Nmap 5.51.3 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-07-08 19:19 IST
Unable to find nmap-services!  Resorting to /etc/services
Read data files from: /etc
WARNING: No targets were specified, so 0 hosts scanned.
Nmap done: 0 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.03 seconds
[oracle@oem-server ~]$
After that I checked MOS and Grid Control 12c is certified with OEL 6 so this errors was not expected but then I realized that I didn't read know issues for Oracle® Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Support Notes for Linux x86 and x86-64 and I found it in point called "Host Discovery Job Displays Error While Loading Shared Libraries". Official solution is a little bit more complicated and required downloading openssl sources and compiling it. Anyway I found article above using Google and I couldn't find it on entry documentation page.

regards,
Marcin

Thanks a lot. Your post saved me a lot of time and worry. I was stumped there for a while.

Cheers.

Thanks very much - that was just what I needed for the migration from 5 to 6 .... Dave
