I had suspicions because sometimes when I try to patch a package that's not installed sometimes I get a different message, that's why I wanted to confirm, but looks like he has to re-install

RE-installing is like a pain, if i will have to do this. pls can you tell me step by step on how to do the above so that i will not go into the same error again.

I will appreciate this, thanks

the patch you are trying to install is a "sun studio patch". i don't understand why you are trying to install a patch to a package that is NOT installed... you will face the same problem again and again and again unless you install the package. and this is an realy old package/patch (studio 10). sun studio 12 is the latest release...

Sorry to bother you, i think i am lacking unserstanding here. i need to install this patch because it is a pre-quisite to install oracle. pls see section 2.3 of
Preinstallation Tasks
once i install sun studio 12 are you saying that i will not need this package again.

have you tried to install oracle without the patch? if the package is not installed, you won't need the patch... just try it!
