Oracle E-Business Suite aka Apps on RHEL 5 – PD KSH
In the Oracle documentation for installing the apps on Linux there is a requirement that KSH be installed. However the real requirement is PD KSH. There are scripts like, adchkutl.sh that are looking specifically for PD KSH. PD KSH is not avaliable on RHEL 5. The following note is on RedHat’s site:

This is not a good solution as it seems to cause issues with a kde.sh script located in /etc/profile.d.
This led me to create a TAR since there is currently no documentation regarding this on MetaLink. I got to speak with a Senior Engineer who suggested setting the following:
KSH_VERSION=’@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2′; export KSH_VERSION
Guess what! It works.

I was working on RH5u2 and had issues with PD KSH not being found.
I fixed the env variable KSH_VERSION as suggested above and it worked.
Thanks for the fix.
avi,
I just wanted to mention that I installed the lated ad minipack, autoconfig template patch, and rapid clone consolidated fixes and now the environment variable is not necessary.
