Anyone install 8i on Corel Linux

I would like to try Oracle8i on Corel Linux. Has anyone tried this. If so what were some of the issues that I should be concerned with.

Just discovered one more thing:
After the installation is done, you may notice that sqlplus is not working (as well as a bunch of other things). That's because there are a number of libraries missing and linking process failed.
To fix this problem I did two things:
1. I had to go back into the Java installer and install everything that there was available. In fact, I went back into installer twice (because of the way it works). The third window during the installation (called "Available Products") has three radio buttons. You go through the first one during initial install, then come back twice for the other two (click everything that's unchecked each time around). That way you end up with all the libraries possible installed.
2. I got the 8.1.5.0.2 patch from technet at http://technet.oracle.com/tech/linux/
Followed the instructions in README. After the patch is done, it asks you to check the log files and relink Oracle Intelligent Agent. Here's how I did the relinking part:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
gmake -f ins_oemagent.mk agent
If you don't have gmake, create a link like this:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s make gmake
After all that I ended up with updated and working sqlplus, svrmgrl, and Java utilities like netasst, netec (although the last two crash when you try to test a connection). The database is accessible through svrmgrl and sqlplus, and from outside the box I use sqlplus and Net8 clients running on NT.

  • MDM 5.5 SP05 installation - Anyone installed it on SUSE Linux?

    In accordance to my previous post, I will give the whole story of my installation in order to make it clear.
    It is about a test server , running Linux SUSE LES 9.3. We want to install on it MDM5.5 (without NetWeaver -stand alone installation) and ORACLE 10g database.
    So I started with the ORACLE 10.2 installation which went fine.
    Now I am in the process of installing the MDM 5.5 on the same Linux server.
    The installation guide is very poor regarding instructions for Linux like systems:
    Extract the MDM Server, Import Server, and Syndication Server files from the archives with the
    following name structure:
    <server>.<incremental version>.<rebuild version>-<platform>-<compiler>.tar.<archive extension>
    2. Place the server files in the root directory under /opt.
    We recommend to place and install all servers (MDS, MDIS, MDSS) in the same folder, for
    example /opt/MDM/bin.
    3. Install each server folder by executing tar -xvf <server file>.
    4. Delete the server archives and files.
    Launching the Servers
    1. Define a user account named mdm to run the MDM Servers on.
    A process may not allocate more memory than the value of the ulimit -d command. So set
    this value as large as possible for the mdm user. On some Unix-based OS, unlimited is
    default, but on others, the kernel imposes a maximum value. Check your system carefully to
    determine the optimum setting.
    For AIX 64bit, we recommend adding ulimit -d unlimited to the user profile of mdm.
    2. Log in as the mdm user.
    3. In the mdm account's home directory (or a subdirectory), set up execution directories for the servers.
    The execution directories will contain various runtime files (for example, nohup.out for error
    messages) that are created and used by the MDM server software. Normally these directories do not
    require any manual intervention.
    We strongly recommend to set up an execution folder structure similar to the following example
    to run each server process in its dedicated folder:
    ~mdm/mdm/mds
    /mdis
    /mdss
    This ensures that the runtime files of the different servers are clearly separated.
    Ensure that you make the dedicated execution directory the current one before launching one of
    the servers. Use pushd to set the execution directory each time you run one of the servers.
    4. Launch each server (MDM Server, Import Server, and Syndication Server) from the mdm user
    account by executing mds, mdis, or mdss from within the server's dedicated execution directory.
    Do not run mds, mdis,or mdss from the installation directory or any subdirectory (this is the directory defined in the MDM_HOME variable).
    So I have followed all these instructions but I am not sure what does it mean to "set execution directory"!!! My MDM home is /opt/MDM/bin under binI have mds,mdis and mdss with the respective scripts. I run them to launch the servers and I get the error:
    mdm@mucsapt2:/opt/MDM/bin> ./mds-r
    ./mds-r: error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    The libraries are there under /opt/MDM/liband with the right access rights.
    The document says to run the mds-r from the execution path which should be under /home/mdm. Does it mean that I have to copy all the scripts there? It is not clear at all.
    I am surprised, such  a big forum and nobody had faced this issue. Is there anybody who did the installation on Linux? From what I see there are not too many questions for the installation itself. Was it so straight forward for all you?
    Thanks in advance,
    Loukas

    Unsupported Linux version should not make a major difference in this case...
    This happens because your system runs out of swap space necessary for installer to fork and exec external process which configures the domain. Solution is to increase the amount of swap space available to installer - on Solaris this is usually done by cleaning up any unnecessary content from /tmp partition and shuting down non-essential processes prior to reinstalling. I suppose the same steps would help on Linux.
    Before reinstallation you should also use provided uninstaller to cleanup this failed installation if you intend to install in the same location.

  • Have anyone installed 1159 on linux AS3.0

    Hi All
    Have anyone ever experimented to install oracle 1159 on linux RedHat 3.0 successfully?
    Regards

    Thanks Chandra & others in this forum.
    I did install the 11.5.9 on RHEL 3.0
    after a struggle of 12 hours.
    I solved the issues, applied patches.
    It works very well.
    Here is another version of solution.
    The steps to create the issue,
    especially unable to instantiate & unable to create control file.
    I found some workaround too.
    When I tried to install 11.5.9 on Redhat Linux Ent. 30 & AS 21 & RH9,
    I find that read from config file does not work properly,
    that creates "unable to instantiate file"
    and "unable to create control file" issues.
    Steps to recreate the issue.
    start rapidwiz
    When giving applusr and oracle user,
    the default brings applEVAL, oraEVAL
    supposing your instance is EVAL (oracle_sid)
    change it to applmgr and oracle
    save the config file
    exit it ( do not run further )
    Next start the rapidwiz
    say read from config file
    It reads the /tmp/config.txt and backs-up to /tmp/config.txt.bac
    everything looks fine, but you will get
    "unable to instantiate file" and "unable to create control file" errors
    The reason is oracle changes some of the entries in
    /tmp/config.txt while reading it.
    half way through (you can find out at the end of the file)
    it changes applmgr into applEVAL and oracle into oraEVAL
    Hence, the user does not exists and unable to instantiate files.
    The work around is do not read from config file
    start from scratch, that is the oracle way!
    They are way behind Microsoft, no doubt.
    I just followed step by step instructions
    in this release notes for RHEL 3.0

  • Oracle 8.1.6 on Corel Linux

    Hello!
    Can`t install 8.1.6 on Corel Linux 1.0.
    The runInstaller can`t start. It terminates
    with an "Memory Access Failure". Do I have the wrong distribution?
    Monika

    Hi,
    I tried the same too. And got the installation to some way. But later realised that oracle needs glibc2.1. Corel Linux is running with glibc2.0.7(if I remember correctly). So, if u need to install oracle 8i u'll have to upgrade ur glibc to 2.1 or above.
    U can check which version of glibc u have by typing this command
    ls /lib/libc-*

    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!

  • Installing JDK1.3 on Linux 7.1

    Hi all,
    Has anyone sucessfully installed j2sdk1.3 on Linux 7.1 from this j2sdk-1_3_1_02-linux-i386-rpm.bin file?
    I always get "The download file appears to be corrupted" everytime I try to install the file. I did a more on the file and notice that it uses
    tail +289 j2sdk-1_3_1_02-linux-i386-rpm.bin | sum
    I tried the command on Linux 7.1 and got 39588 24305 as a result.
    but the script is checking for 28844 and 24305. So, the script will never work on Linux.
    Has anyone got it installed? or Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advance ....
    -Tn

    Hi,
    The error I most often see with those installs is when you try a slight deviation from the install procedures ;-).
    The issue is that the install script uses the $0 variable to get it's own filename. Then, it tries to tail itself into a temporary file. This fails if the program is called like that
    $ . j2sdk-1_3_1_02-linux-i386-rpm.bin
    (in this case, $0 will pass in the name of the shell you are in, for example "bash", and the program will fail).
    Instead, make sure to set the execute privileges
    chmod a+x j2sdk-1_3_1_02-linux-i386-rpm.bin
    and then call it like that
    $ ./j2sdk-1_3_1_02-linux-i386-rpm.bin
    ($0 now contains the filename)
    Good luck!

    hi,
    I am installing Sun portal on Linux . When I am trying to configure it during installation it is giving me error like Invalid HostName. But the hostname I have written is exactly same as I have got after running the "hostname" command.
    Kindly provide some help.
    thanks in advance
    dhawanmayur

    thanks for the advice, Wes. received your email.
    was successfully able to get the entire 2005Q4 JES installed on fedora core 3. i belive this has a slightly earlier version (v6?) of the portal.
    decided not to bother with fedora 4, and i do not have a copy of red hat enterprise to install on.
    just a few installation notes for anyone attempting to do this.
    1. make sure selinux is disabled before installing. open /etc/selinux/config and set SELINUX to disabled.
    2. make sure your system has the package compat-libstdc++. specifically, i belive the installation requires libstdc++-6.2.2.
    [root@localhost selinux]# rpm -qa | grep compat-lib
    compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
    compat-libstdc++-devel-8-3.3.4.2
    [root@localhost selinux]# rpm -q -l compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
    /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8
    /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
    /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
    /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7
    [root@localhost selinux]# rpm -qa | grep compat-lib
    compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
    compat-libstdc++-devel-8-3.3.4.2
    [root@localhost selinux]# rpm -q -l compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
    /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8

    /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so

    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.73. make sure korn shell is installed at /bin/ksh.
    4. run the installer utiltiy.
    in my opinion Sun needs to support more than just the list of platforms they give. it's too restrictive and bad marketing in my opinion; all of the other major portals work on various linuxes fine.

  • Anyone install Oracle database 10g Release 2 on OS "Vista Home" Edition??

    Dear all,
    Anyone install Oracle database 10g Release 2 on OS "Vista Home" Edition??
    Best Regards,
    Amy

    I think that all that Hans and Werner are saying is that since Oracle is not supported on Windows Home anything, if you have any problems with it, blame Windows and not Oracle. I would also guess that most people who are serious about learning Oracle (which you probably are since no business would install Oracle on Windows Vista Home), would install it on a supported platform such as the Windows Server Editions, XP Pro or Linux.
    One possible alternative to what you are asking about is to install a virtual machine on your Windows Home Premium, install Linux as the guest OS in your virtual machine and then install Oracle on the Linux OS. The good thing about this type of installation vs. a dual-boot-with-Linux installation is you don't have to worry about possibly ruining your Windows installation if something goes wrong setting up the dual boot.

    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.
