Hi,
1. set the kernel configuration for semaphores by editing /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 128
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
2. Install the packaged JDK
# Make the bin file executable
chmod u+x j2sdk-1_3_1_09-linux-i586.rpm.bin
# Run the bin file. Agree to the terms and conditions.
./j2sdk-1_3_1_09-linux-i586.rpm.bin
# Install the RPM file.
rpm -ivh jdk-1.3.1_09.i586.rpm
3. create group and user
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
groupadd apache
useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle
useradd -g oinstall -G apache apache
passwd apache
4. create directories
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0
chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
5.Login as oracle and edit your .bash_profile as follows
# Oracle 9i
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.1.0; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_09/bin; export PATH
ORACLE_OWNER=oracle; export ORACLE_OWNER
ORACLE_SID=TSH1; export ORACLE_SID
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
ORACLE_OEM_JAVARUNTIME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_09; export ORACLE_OEM_JAVARUNTIME
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
THREADS_FLAG=native; export THREADS_FLAG
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
6. Make sure you have installed the following packages
rpm -Uvh libpng10-1.0.13-9.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-35.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-db-4.0.14-2.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh sysstat-4.0.7-5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh openmotif21-2.1.30-8.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh pdksh-5.2.14-23.i386.rpm
Oracle need GNU C-Compiler 2.95 by default
mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++
Ok, for now.
Now edit Disk1/oraparam.ini and set the correct JRE_LOCATION and start by ./runInstaller in Disk1
You will get two errors. The first one can be ignored. We will fix it later.
When the scond one occurs open another terminal and edit $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk with any texteditor. Add a "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" flag into the line starting with "INSO_LINK =" and click retry.
After install open a term and execute the following commands to fix the first error:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
make -f ins_net_client.mk install
Then edit the $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk file so that lines 13-14 change from:
ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)
to:
ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) -ldl $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)
After that execute the following command:
make -f $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk install
The agent can now be started using:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/agentctl start
Before a database instance can be created some of the Oracle tools must be forced to look at an alternative JRE:
mv $ORACLE_HOME/JRE $ORACLE_HOME/JRE_ORIG
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_09/jre $ORACLE_HOME/JRE
su - root
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_09/jre/bin/java /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_09/jre/bin/jre
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_09/jre/bin/i386/native_threads/java /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_09/jre/bin/i386/native_threads/jre
exit
With this done the DBCA can be started using dbca from the command line.
This long procedure worked for me. In our days I run ORACLE on UBUNTU with fewer problems while installing. If you have further questions I will try to push you.
