Error during the installation of ORACLE 10g for SAP MDM 5.5

Question

Hi all,
I am installing ORACLE 10g on a SUSE LES 9 for a future MDM 5.5 system. While I launch the Installer I get the following error:
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2007-09-26_07-11-46AM. Please wait ...oracle@mucsapt2:/home/lrougkal/OraDb10g/database> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/OraInstall2007-09-26_07-11-46AM/jre/1.4.2/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have installed all the required packages from SUSE :
binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-32.10
gcc-3.3.3-43.41
gcc-c++-3.3.3-43.41
glibc-2.3.3-98.61
gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-671.1
libstdc++-3.3.3-43.41
libstdc++-devel-3.3.3-43.41
make-3.80-184.1
pdksh-5.2.14-780.7
sysstat-5.0.1-35.7
xscreensaver-4.16-2.6
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Loukas

Hi Elmar,
I have checked the packages and the XFree86-libs-4.3.99 is not installed. I guess I will have to install it.
Now your question about oracle user. I am not sure if you have performed any SAP MDM installation with ORACLE RDBMS but the installation guide is totally different than the normal SAP inst guides. Indeed someone needs to install separately SAP MDM and ORACLE and in my installation I do not install NetWeaver since it is not mandatory for the testing phase of the project. You can have a look at the guide (it is very poor -no reference to ORACLE details):
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000271882007E
So the official ORACLE inst gudie says to install the ORACLE software with the oracle user.
Rgds,
