Installing a product on Linux

My background is on Windows - I am a good enough Installshield programmer. But I have no experience in distributing a project for Linux to a customer. I plan on creating JAR files of my project for distribution on a CD. But beyond that...
- How do you install on a Linux box? All I've seen so far are gzip files that get extracted into the user's home directory, or a selected subdirectory. Is this the only way to install something on Linux?
- Can I control where things are installed? Do I even want to?
- My app will be using SWIG as well as the Java runtime. How do I know my app will be able to find the SWIG executable? Or will the user need to modify my script to point to the correct directory? Or can/should I distribute SWIG as part of my fileset, or have the user download it?
Some general install guidelines would be nice, or a site showing this stuff.
Thanks.

- How do you install on a Linux box? All I've seen
so far are gzip files that get extracted into the
user's home directory, or a selected subdirectory.
Is this the only way to install something on Linux?No, but it is the easiest for you as a programmer. Most Linux software is distributed either as a .rpm or .deb file, or as source code in a compressed tar hofile (getting pretty rare these days). There's also a fairly new package management system called autopackage but I haven't seen many projects using it yet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deb_%28file_format%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopackage
What kind of a program is it? It might be best to go the easy way and distribute a .tar.gz file that the user extracts to a directory on the hard drive and runs the program from it... Azureus works like this for example.
Can I control where things are installed? Do I even
want to?I'm not really sure what you mean...
My app will be using SWIG as well as the Java
runtime. How do I know my app will be able to find
the SWIG executable? If the user has installed swig, it's trivial to find the path to the exectuable using a short shell script: the command "which swig" returns the complete path. You can pass this to the application as a parameter from the startup script likeSWIGPATH=`which swig`
# test that it was actually found..
java -Dswig.path="$SWIGPATH" restofcommandline
Or can/should I distribute SWIG as part of my
fileset, or have the user download it?
Distributing swig doesn't seem like a good idea unless you require a version that the users are not likely going to have.. If swig is not installed it's a good idea to warn the user and tell him/her it needs to be installed

Can't install d2k6ir2 products on Linux

This download includes about 17 different products. I'm trying to install only Forms Server/Developer, Unix Installer and PL/SQL Procedure Builder at this time. I've studied the included documentation, set every environment variable there is and tried running ./orainst both with and without the create DB objects options. But the installation process never completes. What it does do is cause a Segmentation Fault. My RH 7.0 Linux OS stops it at this point and greets me with a core dump. This always appears to take place while "Loading ORACLE Common Utilities Executables..."
Come on -- I know there's somebody out there that has installed these products on Linux.

It's probably not supported on RHEL5/Centos5/etc., but...
You can get the installer to function using the following steps:
- extract the cal_linux_*.tar.gz, and cd into the OracleCalendar_inst directory
In there is the actual installer, cal_linux.
- the cal_linux is shell script wrapped around some binary blobs. The installer's
problem is that Oracle is setting the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 environment
variable, which is a mistake on RHEL5. You need to make it not set that variable,
but you need to do so in a way that the size of the shell script does not change at all,
and none of the binary blobs are impacted.
- the approach I took was
mv cal_linux cal_linux.BAK
sed -e 's/LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5/LD_ASSUME_KERNEL= /g' < cal_linux.BAK > cal_linux
chmod a+rx cal_linux
cal_linux -i gui
Note: you must have exactly 5 spaces in the substitution part of the sed command, because you're replacing 5 characters (2.2.5), and the size of the shell script must not change.
If you do that, the installer should run (one warning from awk still) and you should be able to install the product.

Trying to install d2k6ir2 products on Linux

I could really use some help installing some of
the products that come with d2k6ir2 for Linux. My
current configuration is Oracle 8.0.5 Enterprise
Edition running on Redhat 7.0. I'm installing only
a few products - Forms Server/Developer 6.0.8, Unix
Installer 4.0.3 and PL/SQL Procedure Builder 6.0.8
all in a different Oracle Home
(/u01/apps/oracle/product/6.0). In the oracle owners'
.bash_profile, I have the environment variable TNS_ADMIN
set to: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/network/admin -
which is the location of the tnsnames.ora file created
with the 8.0.5 installlation.
It's my impression from reading the documentation that
you should use the environment variable TWO_TASK in this
type of install. I have it set to the SID (and the name
of the database) that were created with the 8.0.5
install. In the installer, I choose to install from a
staging area, and I choose the option "INSTALL NEW
PRODUCT - CREATE DB OBJECTS" because several of the
developer products appear to require the creation of a
database table. The Unix Installer 4.0.3 gets installed
OK but at a later point in the process I get a
Segmentation Fault and core dump. The last message put
in the installer log files is: "Loading ORACLE Common
Utilities Executables..." so this appears to be the
problem area.

Hi,
You have to use RedHat 6.2 or RH 7.x with patch for glibc.

Who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment?

Hi Friends,
there is a doubt for me on ORACLE software installation. i.e. who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment. either system admin or else ORACLE DBA.
If DBA means, whether system admin will share the oracle root password.,
If SYS admin means how DBA parameters during installation.
Regards

If SYS admin means how DBA parameters during installation.I have a doubt - about needing any parameters during a software-only install.
Since every version of Oracle available now (except 11.2) needs patches, a new installation should not create the database right away. Therefore, a software-only install is the most reasonable thing to do. And if no DB configuration parameters are required at s/w-only time, then it makes somewhat sense for the SysAdmin to do the install.
Therefore, it makes sense to me that the two groups (DBA and SA) might want to work ... together. (ROFLMAO)

BeeKeeper Install Issue | On RH Linux

Hi
I am trying to setup Beehive1.4.3 on RedHat Linux.
My Beehive server installation went on fine. But after that the Beekeeper installation has run into some issue. Below are the logs containing the error message. I dont know much about linux OS but looking at the logs i thought that port 23792 is not enabled hence i updated /etc/sysctl.conf file with net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 22000 65000
But even i after doing so its again run into issues. If someone can review the logs below and suggest me how to proceed next that will be great.
Looking forward.
Thanks.

Actually looks like the Beekeeper itself is trying to something with port 23792. I just scrolled up the logs above the actual error message where again there is a mention of 23792 port. I am copying the same here... Does this give any clue about the issue??

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!

After installing oracle 10g on linux im getting this error

Hi,
Can any one give me any solution on i getting an error after installing oracle 10g on linux.
ERROR:-
/oraeng/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin/clscfg: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to initialize Oracle Cluster Registry for cluster

Hi, please ensure that both 'libclntsh.so.10.1' and 'libttsh10.so' has 755 permission and owned by Oracle.
That is the critical step.
After re-execute the root.sh file
Has been known to reset the permissions from the previous step - bug in some patch releases.
Suggest OP records permissions for those two files before running root.sh Or run root.sh before setting the permissions.

How to install protocol NMP on linux?

Hi,
I want steps to install oracle 9i on linux version 4
Kindly give steps.Ok, I'll try...
Step 1) Leave this forum as it has nothing to do with your problem.
Step 2) Enter the Installation forum.
Step 3) Search / read there.
Step 4) Read the installation guide.
Step 5) Do what you have learned during the previous steps.
One question remains: why does it have to be 9i? But that is also of interest only in the appropriate forum, so please, don't answer. :)

Error installing ARES 7 to linux

Hello,
While installing ARES v7 to Linux RHEL 3.0, I am getting the following error after specifying my rights credential file:
"Executing Java Method initializeUIDeployTypeSelect on class class com.installshield.ares_suite_installer.event.dialog.swing.PanelDeployTypeSelect. The method does not exist or does not accept the proper parameters."
I have tried setting JAVA_HOME to the JDK in our Websphere installation (per instructions) and to a separate IBM v1.4.2 JDK. I get the error either way.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Greg

If you are using the Easy configuration Wizard, in step 2, you should remove the signtool.jar file or the installation will fail. If you are doing the Expert configuration Wizard, ensure that if you have more than one product (Security Server or Policy Server) that you are using the correct signtool.jar file as they are different (even though they are named the same).

Why are you guys so complicating something that is so trivial and simple? The 11g installation guide for Linux states clearly that (for OEL-5) the following packages must be installed:
binutils-2.17.50.0.6-2.el5
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61
elfutils-libelf-0.125-3.el5
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125
glibc-2.5-12
glibc-common-2.5-12
glibc-devel-2.5-12
gcc-4.1.1-52
gcc-c++-4.1.1-52
libaio-0.3.106
libaio-devel-0.3.106
libgcc-4.1.1-52
libstdc++-4.1.1
libstdc++-devel-4.1.1-52.e15
make-3.81-1.1
sysstat-7.0.0
unixODBC-2.2.11
unixODBC-devel-2.2.11All these packages are on OEL-5 distribution media pack (CDs) and you can install them at any time. The simplest way to do so is to choose the packages during main installation. Never accept the default installation image on the installer screen. Instead, choose the packages yourself.

Othe Oracle products on Linux

When will OEM2.1 be available for Linux? I know most of it is Java, so, theorhetically, it should run, but I'm more concerned about the management server. Has anyone gotten it to work?
Also, did I miss the announcement for Developer 6i on Linux? If I didn't, is there any version on Linux? I know it has been in the works for awhile now.
Good work on 8iR2. I've heard a lot of good things. Going to try it myself this weekend.
Peace

my regrets for the error in the above message .... pls read as follows:
"it IS recommended to install various products, like OID or IAS, on different machines " ....

How to startup and install listener in oracle linux after intalling database ?

hi
i am installing oracle database on linux 6 and when its finishe i cant run sqlplus or i cant run dbca or netca ?
what i am doing after installataion oracle database with ruinInstallet (oui) ?
thanks

Hi,
you have to set environement variables $ORACLE_HOME and $PATH in user profile ( .bash_profile in your home directory). some think like this :
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.3/db_1
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
after that you execute ths profile . .profile or reconnect to load the variables, you can then use netca,sqlplus or any other utilities in bin directory of your ORACLE_HOME
