Can't install oracle 10g on solaris v10 X86!!!

Hi everybody, I got error messages below:
====================================================
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.10
Failed <<<<
=====================================================
Does that mean there is not Oracle 10g for Solairs 10 X86?
Where can I find Oracle 9i for Solairs x86?
Thanks advance!

10g on Solaris 10 needs special handling:
1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

Check also if the t-bit is set:
[root@vtl1g121 ~]# ls -dl /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Apr 10 11:44 /tmp
This is needed to mark the filesystem/directory as temporary.
Sometimes this can cause such problems also
Command: chmod +t /tmp

Can not install Oracle 9i R2 on Windows 2000

I can not install Oracle 9i R2 on Win 2000. It failed at 48% with this message.
Error in writing to file C:
\oracle\ora92\oem_webstage\oem_webstage_8.jar
I tried by copying the 3 disks to my hard drive and reinstall but not success.
Help me please.
Thanks
Ken Wongho

I've been able to install 9iAS on Windows 2000 - I have the Origin database on a Solaris machine.
Your best bet is to have all 3 folders Disk1/Disk2/Disk3 on your computer and the run the install from there. I didn't have the disk space on my computer and ran it from a shared drive.
I'm currently in the post install section trying to Configure cache, and wondering if it's still working or hung up.
The 9iAS Installation took 3 1/2 days to run - I have a 300 Mhz PC with about 380 RAM. The Cache Configuration has been running for over 26 hours.
I don't know if this helps but I hope it does.
I didn't experience any of the problems you have.
Hope this helps

Can i install flar image of solaris 10 from V890 to v480?

Team,
Please help me for a confusion that can i install flar image of solaris 10 from V890 to v480?
We have very good flar image of solaris 10 and want to install same on other machine.
this machine hosting the Oracle database on it.
Thanks
Ravi

Generally speaking, as long as you are in the same processor family (4u, 4m, 4c, 4v etc) you can do so.
The caveat is that the OS has to support the particular model you are on. No worries with S10 though.

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!

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").
