Can't Install Oracle 8.1.7 on linux

Hi,
This is related to posting 516230.
For some reason unknown to me, regardless of the media or the version, I cannot get the installation script, runInstaller to invoke on RedHat 7.1.
This is my oracle user is set up as such:
uid=501(oracle) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),501(dba)
This is my display variable setting:
[oracle@localhost oracle]$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost.localdomain:0.0
Here are the pertinent entries from my groups file:
dba:x:501:
oinstall:x:502:
osdba:x:503:
osoper:x:504:
Here is the access control list:
[oracle@localhost oracle]$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET:localhost.localdomain
Every time I try to invoke the installer all I get is:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...
Which I do, forever. There is no splash screen, but the processes are running:
oracle 3297 1 0 23:26 pts/4 00:00:00 ./runInstaller
oracle 3298 3297 97 23:26 pts/4 00:02:36 /home/oracle/Disk1/stage/Compone
I am not really sure what it is doing, it takes up a lot of cpu for no benefit as far as I can tell. Proof is in the output of the top command, which shows the jre eating up 98.8% of the cpu.
3298 oracle 19 0 3136 3136 964 R 98.8 0.4 7:52 jre
3309 oracle 12 0 1060 1060 840 R 0.5 0.1 0:00 top
I have 640MB of memory on a Dell Dimension XPS T600. The other post, details more of my configuration and steps I took to remedy the situation. I'm here asking this question because I have no idea where else I could go. ANY HELP AT ALL would be greatly appreciated. I have read the Linux and Oracle HOW-TO files, and anything else I could think of.
Thanks for your help

Please try to unset the following variables in your environment.
UNSET LANG
UNSET LIB_PATH
and then try to Invoke the runInstaller.

Can't install Oracle 9i for Red Hat Linux AS3

anybody know how to install for RH AS3, I have tried many time to find out the libraries but still not work and I've plan for RAC also.

Did you carefully go through all pre-req steps for install?
Oracle needs some "compatibility libraries" as well (compat-lib*). Here are packages for AS 10g, most or all of which apply to Database too.
Checking operating system packages: gcc-3.2.3-20,compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122,compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,setarch-1.3-1,pdksh-5.2.14,sysstat-4.0.7,gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1,libstdc++-3.2.3,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.5
When required packages are in place, there's another error lurking, related to __libc_wait symbol.
runInstaller "boots" OUI, which includes running a JRE from tmp. This JRE (build 02) is broken, but you can setup to run another one via oraparam.ini and JRE_LOCATION. Download build 10 from Sun (google "jre 1.3.1 download").

How can i install Oracle 9i Enterprise version on Linux 7.2

Hi friends,
I m not able to install the oracle 9i enterprise DBA on RedHat linux 7.2. Can anybody guide me how to do it in correct way. Cuz i feel that i m not doing in right way and there is someother way of doing it ?
Thanks in advance

I know this isn't a RedHat admin forum...but one of the most important things is an up2date set of system packages. It is my opinion that the RedHat Network Updater (up2date) should always be used to keep your kernel, bin-utils, glibc, gcc, etc files up2date...they fix issues all the time that help in relinking (making) files, as well as fixing security problems and increasing platform security.
That said, the version of bin-utils, glibc, kernel and gcc that I have installed Oracle 9i release 1 on RedHat 7.2 is:
kernel-2.4.9-31
binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12
glibc-2.2.4-24
gcc-2.96-98
Here is the documentation I followed:
http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.html
and here is a good discussion thread on an installation:
http://www.orafaq.com/msgboard/unix/messages/821.htm
I did not (and do not) recommend downgrading the bin-utils ... just update the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh file and relink...
Also, if installing Oracle 9i Release 2 on RedHat 7.3, see this thread concerning the ins_ctx.mk error

Can we install oracle client 32 bit on Linux 64 bit

Can we install the 32 bit applications like the oracle client on to a database server 64 bit and linux os 64 bit ?

This question is two parts which I paraphrase as per my understanding; please correct me if I'm wrong:
1) Can you install 32-bit applications (like the oracle client) on to a 64-bit Linux OS?
Quick and correct answer is: Yes. Most distributions will include 32-bit libraries along with 64-bit libraries for just this purpose.
2) Can a 32-bit Oracle Client "connect" to a 64-bit Oracle Database server?
Yes.
So ultimately, you could install 64-bit Oracle Database on a 64-bit Linux OS, and then continue by installing the 32-bit Oracle Client on the same host (although I see no real reason for this), and then finally use the 32-bit Oracle Client to connect to the 64-bit instance running on the same host.
Hope this is helpful!

How can I install Oracle database 9i on Redhat linux with OFA

Hello,
From the Unix installation guide:
Note: The Oracle Universal Installer supports, but does not require, OFA. The preconfigured database included with the Database installation type of Oracle9i database is created under a single mount point and is, therefore, not OFA-compliant.
So my question is how to install dabase with OFA structure. I have read the DOCs for OFA, but I still can not understand. I mean, within Oracle Universal Installer, is there some option allow me to support OFA?
Thanks a lot,
Grace

Why IBM said that their 64-bit server can run both 32-bit and 64-bit application in the same time?Because the CPU itself is capable of running both: 32-bit and 64-bit.
In order to do so you need a 64-bit operating system to run 64-bit binaries.
If you use LPARs you can partition your pSeries to have multiple partitions each running a copy of AIX. So you can run 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems at the same time if needed.
But as already pointed out i recommend to use 64-bit because most 32-bit applications will run without problems.

How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster

Dear all:
please advice How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster service ..
thanks ,,

Without RAC, you can only have one instance manage the database. One instance = one set of processes communicating via IPC.
Unless you know of a way to have processes use memory-based IPC across nodes, you need to pick a node and install & run the database software on that node.

Can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?

can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?
what the difference between ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 and Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 ?
can i use ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 instead of Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 to deploy application (contains many jsf pages with rich faces and many taskflows and BC4J) ??
i'm using jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 and weblogic 10.6 installed on the Linux server

Hi,
JDeveloper 11g R1 (11.2.3) supported as ADF essentials and running on WebLogic 10.3.6 are the same releases. The difference is that a path is needed if you want to deploy the software on WLS 10.3.6. Quoting the release notes:
+"The ADF Runtime will be installed into a standalone application server by applying an Opatch bundle on top of a 11.1.1.6 version of the Application Developer Runtime environment. In the event that additional patches are needed or desired in addition to the 11.1.2.3.0 patch (for example, if an additional patch is needed for another component in the Application Development Runtime installation), those patches will need to be installed separately.+
+Important note: The patch is intended to be applied to an Application Developer Runtime installation. Applying the patch to a different installation type (for example, Oracle SOA Suite or Oracle WebCenter) is not supported."+
Release Notes: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/11gr2update3-1851251.html
For Glasssfish you don't need to patch the server and only install the ADF runtime libraries - also explained in the Release notes.

Hi there!
The first thing you should do if you get ANY (almost) error when
installing Oracle Server in RedHat Linux v6,0 is to read this
document carefully: http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/
After hours of struggle it finally worked for me :-)))))
Only two things to add here:
1) If you want to be able to connect to the Linux server
(telnet) and running utilities like sqlplus locally on the
server, you should copy the ".profile" file to the users home
directory, add the user to the group "dba" AND make sure that
the $ORACLE_HOME directory has execute permissions for members
of the "dba" group (mine had default ONLY permission for the
owner to execute).
2) The file "listener.ora" was (for some reason) written
with "oracle_sid" where it really should say the real SID name
that is in my case "ORCL".
I just can't thank the guy who wrote the step-by-step
Installation guide for Oracle on RedHat Linux enough... THANK
YOU!

Can you install Oracle 10g on REDHAT LINUX ENTERPRISE WS?

According to oracle documentation, it says you can install oracle10g on Redhat enterprise version 3 or 4, but it doesn't specify whether its Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS or WS. Can you install oracle 10g on Rehat Linux Enterprise WS?

Oracle Certificaction Matrices says only RedHat AS/ES is supported for database. AFAIK WS means workstation.
Also this link is very clear: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_61_1135.shtm
Besides the above sentences... If the WS installation is providing all required packages (listed in installtion prerequisites) I belive that Oracle DB could be installed on WS but as I (and the above link) said it is not officialy supported.
