Installing Oracle client for Red Hat release 5.5 throws error

I have Linux OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) over 64 Bit and trying to install Oracle client 10.2.1, I downloaded it from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10201linx8664soft-092456.html
I am doing silent install and getting error

can someone let me know that 10.2.1 is compatible with RH5.5 or I need to download software from someplace else.

@Paul M - I followed that metalink note and make changes to oraparam.ini file and add redhat-5 but getting warning messages after install like
The installation of Oracle Client was successful, but some optional configuration assistants failed, were cancelled or skipped
@Aman - I am going to go with 11g client for RH 5.5
Thanks guys...

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").

Error installing Oracle Client on Red Hat 4.0

This is the error that displays when it's 80 % already installing:

Please, Help meeeee!!!!

I have exacrtly the same problem. I am installing "10201_database_linux_x86_64" on Red Hat 3.0. The error I got, though, is more specific:

================================================================
I checked the missing library file: libclntsh.so.10.1 it is not in the folder. It seems to me that this file should come with Oracle installation software, and somehow it is not there, so it didn't get copied over to $ORACLE_HOME/lib, which cause this error.
Also, this error seems interesting too:

Please help!

Patches for Installing Oracle 9i on Red Hat Enterprise LINUX 3.0 AS

I recently purchased An Oracle Database Enterprise Edition � Trial License.
I am attempting to install Oracle 9i on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3 (RHEL AS 3).
After several unsuccessful attempts and consultation with the FAQs available on the Oracle site I have discovered
that it can not be installed without the following patches.
P3095277_9204_LINUX.zip
P3238244_9204_LINUX.zip
P2617419_210_GENERIC.zip
P3006854_9204_LINUX.zip
P3119415_9204_LINUX.zip
Can anyone tell me how I can aquire these patches?
This is for an eval of the product on the platform mentioned above. If I can not complete a successful install,
there is no way for my company to evaluate the product
and eventually purchase it.
You can contact me at this email address [email protected]

Daer suneetkapoor:
I am looking for P3006854_9204_LINUX.zip in order that can be properly able to install oracle9i on Linux AS 3. And I saw you to reply the message on forum that you can share the patch. Would you mind if you can send an email with the patch for me immediately, I will greatly appreciate it.

I mean version 4 is available for Linux, is it supported or not by Oracle?
thank you.

That is Oracle Database 10g R2, it looks like R1 is not supported.This is the point of mis understanding. I am was talking about x86 and you about x86_64. :-)
Also check this out for further confirmation...
"No certification projected for 10g R1 64-bit on RHEL AS 4 x86_64 at the time of this writing."<snip>...at the time of this writing.</snip>
Current status is projected for R2
Please let me know if I am missing something.Ok conlusion from this topic is RH 4 (x86_64) is not certified with 10g at this time.

Hello,
i think you can work best if you connect your guest to the host network and working from the host directly (if you have no skill with linux). To do this "system-config-network" if avaible on the guest will help you to set ip address.
Otherwise use a text editor like vi or something like that. Most folks these days can not even spell vi when spotted one of the two letters.
All they know how to do is click on the GEDIT icon.What does this mean ?

Has anyone tried to install Oracle 11gR2 on Red Hat Linux 6 64bit?

The Oracle Universal Installer is checking for some Red Hat packages which are not the ones in Linux 6. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hi;
I'm aware that RHE6 is not certified yet. Someone was able to install it according to this link http://server.billhamilton.com:84/wp/oracle/installing-oracle-11gr2-on-
rhel6-in-4-long-steps/ but I'm not sure on how he got around the packages requirement.
I suggest see Tim's site

Problem on installing oracle 9i on red hat linux

anybody having experience on installing oracle on redhat?
I've tried to install oracle 9i on redhat 8.0. but when I run the
install command "./runInstaller" under Disk1,
I got a error msg: "line 58: ./runInstaller: cannot execute binary
file". (my x windows system works normally.)
the runInstaller in the error msg is that one under
/Disk1/install/linux. so what can I do to solve this problem?
Regards,
Yabing

I had the same problem. In my case, it was because of downloading an version of the software. You can check this by running the command:
readelf -h /cdrom/Disk1/install/linux/runinstaller
you should see something like

Can not install oracle on linux red hat 6.2

when i strat the ./runInstaller script it gives error message .
Xlib: connection refused by server.

What you need to do is to disable access control on your machine with the xhost command. Make sure you run xhost as the user you started X with. Normally you just need to type:
xhost +Also, check your DISPLAY variable.
