Can't install Oracle 8i or 9i but DB2 installs fine on SUSE 7.3

I have tried installing Oracle 8.1.6 & 8.1.7 on SUSE 7.3 and each time the install program crashes.
I've tried installing 9i on SUSE 7.3 and when it finally installs and I try to create a database I get OUT of Memory errors and that fails.
When I tried IBM's DB2 for Linux it installed just fine, no problems. I don't want to have to learn DB2 but looks like Oracle is no help....
Anybody know how to succesfully install Oracle on Suse 7.3 or later? If not I guess I'll have to learn DB2.

Have you checked the website of SuSe ?
http://www.suse.com/us/support/oracle/index.html
Have you enough swap space (about 1 Gb) and enough free space in your temporary directory (400 Mb) ?
Installing from CD-Roms instead of copied versions on the hard-disk will also reduce the memory consumption (this was the case on my pc).

    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").

  • 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.

  • Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

    Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

    You didn't specify which Oracle10 Edition.
    In the case of SE/SE one/EE, with a paid license Supported has a mean impact on production environments with paid licenses, since you wouldn't run on an unsupported platform facing the risk of being left without technical support from Oracle in case of an emerging issue.
    For the XE Edition, this is not a certified combination, since the only certified editions are the Business, Enterprise, and the Ultimate editions, but you can try it, you don't have nothing to loose, supported, certified vs. unsupported in this case makes no difference since this XE is not supported either way (no patchsets, no bug fixes, no technical support from metalink), just an AS IS free software.
    On the license agreement terms displayed when you download the XE software it states:
    "No Technical Support
    Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement."
    and
    "THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
    In case someone would be able to win a trial against oracle due to damage from the use of this software, the amount paid at maximum is 1,000.00 USD, not enough to even pay the lawyer's lunches.
    For the XE users the primary source of 'kind of support' is the oracle forums, either the installation forum, the general database or the specialized XE forum.
    Of course if this is for your own personal use for learning and testing and there are no third parties you could damage by doing this and if you don't have a paid license for this installation you may try it, but don't expect the Enterprise Manager to behave as defined by the manual, most of it won't work since the Home Edition doesn't have the privileges required for EM to work.
    If this is your personal computer and when you bought it the computer provider installed from factory Home Edition, and if you want something to work there, you can try to install a Virtual Machine and install Oracle 10g on a supported guest OS.

  • 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 we install Oracle XE on virtual private server?

    Hello,
    Is that possible to install oracle on the virtual server?
    Thanks & best regards

    I have a dedicated server and installed virtual private servers on it through virtuozzo
    vmware and xen are hypervisor but we use kernel level and all vps use the same kernel
    will it work in this scenario?
    i've manage to install oracle-xe on vps, but its not starting. giving error "ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist"
    i think this error comes in two secnarios
    1. oracle environment paths not set eg.(ORACLE_HOME/SID) but they are set very well
    2. oracle not getting enough memory to start, i've tried allocated 4gb of ram to the VPS but still not worked, may be the problem due to unavaliability of SWAP space on VPS.
    can some one give any idea on this ?
    thanks in advance

  • Can i install oracle express edition in VMware cloud

    Can i install oracle express edition in VMware cloud
    VMware are saying you need licence for using oracle in cloud
    but they are showing pricing for Enterprise edition 
    and i am clueless

    I've moved your question over to the Cloud Computing > Oracle Database Cloud Service space it I think it's likely the best place for it.  Certainly the community feedback and suggestions forum (not for product related questions) was NOT the correct place, as that forum is NOT for product related questions, as it states in it's forum space title.

    How to install Oracle software remotely?
    Remote Software Installation Steps: (For Solaris only)
    If you want to install Oracle Software remotely, you should perform the following steps. These steps are applicable only if your source and target machine are running Unix.
    For example, you can install Oracle Software from your home from Washington, DC to a target source in California.
    1. Pick your source server or machine for remote installation.
    2. Check that your CD is in your source CD-ROM drive.
    3. On the target machine, find your target machine name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname
    4. On the source machine, login as a user.
    5. On the source machine, enable client access: % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + target-machine-name
    6. Become root user by typing: su (don’t use -)
    7. Check that Volume Manger is running. # ps –ef |grep vold (if you see an entry that contains /usr/sbin/vold, Volume Manager is running. Then skip to Step 10.
    8. If not then do the following: # mkdir –p /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    9. # mount –F hsfs –r cdrom-device /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    10. Add the following line to your /etc/dfs/dfstab file: # share –F nfs –o ro /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    11. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server: # ps –ef | grep nfsd
    12. If you see an entry that contains /use/lib/nfs/nfsd –a 16, then nfsd is running and skip to Step 16.
    13. If nfsd is running, then type: # /usr/sbin/shareall
    14. If nfsd is not running, then start nfsd by typing: # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
    15. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server again by typing: # ps –ef | grep nfsd
    16. Make sure your source machine is exporting your product directory by typing: # /usr/sbin/dfshares
    17. Now, log in to the target machine by type: # rlogin target-machine-name –l user (not root)
    18. Then log in as the root user by typing: # su
    19. Go to the source machine by typing: # cd /net/source-machine/cdrom/your-cd-file-name ,then Skip to 24.
    20. If you cannot change to that directory in Step 19 and you do not have an auto-mounter on your network, then create amount point by typing the following commands.
    21. # mkdir /remote_products
    22. # /usr/sbin/mount –F nfs –r source-machine:/cdrom/your-cd-file-name /remote_products
    23. # cd /remote_products
    24. Redirect the target machine display to source machine by typing: # DISPLAY=source-machine:0; export DISPLAY (if you use a Bourne or Korn shell).
    25. Start the Web Start Installer by typing: # ./installer (or whatever the installer name program is).
