Installing Linux Package prior to 11G Install

I realize this is a Linux problem and not an Oracle problem, but if anyone has seen this I'd appreciate some "Linux newbie" advice.
I'm installing Oracle 11g on Fedora 8 following the guide at:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR1InstallationOnFedora8.php
The guide has certain packages that have to be installed, one of them being elfutils-libelf-0.*
When I run rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-0.* (from the guide), I get the following messages:
error: Failed dependencies:
elfutils-libelf-i386 = 0.131-1.fc8 is needed by (installed) elfutils-libs-0.131-1.fc8.i386
elfutils-libelf-i386 = 0.131-1.fc8 is needed by (installed) elfutils-0.131-1.fc8.i386
elfutils-libelf-i386 = 0.131-1.fc8 is needed by (installed) elfutils-libelf-devel-0.131-1.fc8.i386
This message seems to indicate that I should install elfutils-libelf-0.131-1.fc8.i386.rpm. Having downloaded the rpm however, when I try
rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-0.*, I get the message:
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package elfutils-libelf-0.131-1.fc8.i386 is already installed
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,
I check the Fedora 8 DVD and the packages related to elfutils* are:
/Packages/elfutils-0.130-3.fc8.i386.rpm
/Packages/elfutils-libelf-0.130-3.fc8.i386.rpm
/Packages/elfutils-libelf-devel-0.130-3.fc8.i386.rpm
/Packages/elfutils-libs-0.130-3.fc8.i386.rpm
However these packages on your boxes are version 0.131-1.fc8. So you should have upgraded the packages from somewhere. Can you try the following commands?
#rpm -Uvh elfutils*
Regards

Is JDK need to install prior to 11g Binary installation

Hi All,
I am planning to install 11.2.0 on Suse Linux 10. Prior to the install i checked Preinstall validation using RDA, it says :-
Rule A00200: JDK Version
Description
This rule checks that the installed JDK version is JDK 5.0 update 6 or later. This is required for products like Oracle Java Database Connectivity and Oracle Call Interface drivers.
Unmatched Actions
JDK home is missing == Adequate

Debtap - A script to convert .deb packages to Arch Linux packages

I wrote this script in my free time to help people who, for any reason, want to convert a .deb to an Arch Linux package. It works in a similar way with alien (which converts .deb packages to .rpm packages and vice versa), but, unlike alien, it is focused on accuracy of conversion, trying to translate Debian/Ubuntu packages names to the correct Arch Linux packages names and store them in the dependencies fields of the .PKGINFO metadata in the final package. In other words, it won't only create an Arch package with the data of the original .deb package, but also it will try to create a valid and as accurate as possible .PKGINFO metadata file in the converted package. It uses pkgfile and pacman utilities to achieve this accuracy. The final package can be installed like any local Arch Linux package. Debtap is now available on AUR!
FAQ
Q: What "debtap" stands for?
A: DEB To Arch (Linux) Package
Q: Isn't better to download an official package or write a PKGBUILD in case I need to compile a package or convert a .deb package to an Arch Linux package?
A: Sure it is, and I truely encourage you to do so. Debtap was written to create packages that either cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons (error during compiling or unavailable files), as a quick 'n' dirty solution and an extra option for creating Arch Linux packages for Arch Linux users.
Q: So debtap will help me only in case I need to convert specific .deb packages to Arch Linux packages?
A: No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, by converting its .deb package to Arch package with debtap, thanks to the packages names translator function inside the script, it can help you determine which dependencies are needed for the package you write the PKGBUILD for and complete the necessary fields.
Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?
A: You need to have installed these dependencies: bash, binutils (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), pkgfile, and fakeroot. You must run at least once (preferably recently) "debtap -u" to create/update pkgfile and debtap database (you do this with root privileges).
Q: Debtap needs a lot of time to convert a package. So, why this is happening?
A: Like I said, debtap is focused on accuracy. It won't just unpack a .deb package and then repackage its data to an Arch Linux package, ignoring metadata. Depending on the speed of your processor and the package itself, conversion can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?
A: Debtap cannot be 100% accurate for several reasons, the main reason for this is the complexity of packages names. If you want to check the freshly generated .PKGINFO and .INSTALL (this is optional file) metadata files or even fix the untranslated packages names inside .PKGINFO, debtap offers you the option to edit these files before compressing the final package.
Q: How do I use debtap?
A: The syntax is quite simple actually: debtap [option] package_filename
For example: debtap world-of-goo-demo_1.0_i386.deb
Any recommendations or questions for debtap are welcomed!

Slackware TGZ to Arch Linux Package Converter

I have two programs that interest me (LilyPond and Battle for Wesnoth) that don't have Arch Linux packages and compiling them would involve hunting everywhere for obscure dependencies (LilyPond in particular) so I just downloaded the Slackware packages, inspected them and found that by unzipping them onto the root folder (as superuser) and running the install script (if there is one) I can get them to run with minimal fuss.
Has the idea of making a Slackware to Arch package converter been brought up before? Is there any problems with this? (Slackware is i386-optimised if I remember correctly, but I think it's still worth it since there is more Slackware packages than Arch Linux ones out there.)

i3839 wrote:Flames?? Where? You sure you didn't misread something?
Probably.
Here's what I read, admitting that it doesn't seem quite as bad the second time around...:
Oh? All I was hearing is that Arch already has enough packages, and that the devs are overloaded and almost down.
"you don't know which way is up, you contradict yourself while continuing to ignore the problems and aren't fixing anything".
Also getting custom packages into Arch's official repository seems a bit hard currently, not to mention that it's totally unclear how to do that (drop it in incomming and wait a year? Lotto?).
"The system isn't working and you haven't done anything to try to fix it. I haven't read or noticed any of the threads illustrating that this topic has been argued to death and isn't going unnoticed"
Maintaining packages is the most work, and every distro maintains the same packages over and over again. Tell me why to not use good, working packages from another sane distro?
"The other distros are better."
(Personally, I don't care if anybody likes another distro better, but if so, use it instead, don't talk about it)
Changing GCC often gives the same problem as updating to new major libraries. Simply leave the old GCC libs or make a seperate package for them. Currently it's rather impossible in Arch to install new packages with an outdated system, if that's solved then it's also easy to use Slackware packages.
"The Arch philosophy of keeping packages stable but up to date is just plain wrong. I don't bother to pacman -Syu before I mention problems."
Of course if would be best if there was a nice, good binary package standard that works on all distros, so that the application makers can make and maintain the packages themselves, but that's utopia (paths are too often hardcoded for instance).
"hey, I do have some good ideas".
It isn't a matter of being able to do something or not, it's a matter of convenience. All programs should be relative easy to compile from source, but that doesn't mean that everyone should compile all programs themselves.
"There aren't enough Arch binaries to go around"
OR:
"ABS sucks"
OR:
"Hold my hand, I can't compile."
OR:
"I use Arch cause I don't like Gentoo". :-D
Yeah, some of that is a little (or quite, or even very) harsh, you can blame it on me rather than taking it to heart.
As for the slackware packages issue, I'm personally not writing a script to convert them; I've never used slackware in my life. The idea has merit, but I get tired of people discussing pros and cons and not doing anything. I think that's because I'm about as bad as anyone on that front, possibly worse.

Using ant to build and deploy plsql packages to a 11g wls.

Hi all,
Not sure is this is the right place, but I found a few other threads in this forum regarding plsql and ant, so I'll try this one.
My firm is moving from 10g ADF applcations to 11g SOA applications. When I'm not busy being lost in the whole new SOA world, I also have the pleasure of building our ant scripts. :-)
It has been years since I looked at the deploy scripts I made for 10g, so I'm a bit rusty.
I used wsassemble in our old scripts and I used http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_05/web.1013/b14434/wsassemble.htm as a reference. But I can't seem to find the same documentation for 11g? I tried http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/index.htm but it doesn't seem to have anything about plsqlAssemble, genInterface, genproxy etc. for 11g wls servers? I also tried google a while to no avail.
For example, I'm having problems setting the values for the ant-oracle.properties.
So can someone please throw some links my way, so I can read how to build and deploy plsql packages to a 11g wls server using ant? Thanks!
Cheers,
William

Min. rhel packages for oracle 11g r2 database installation

hi guys,
i'm doing a fresh standalone installation of rhel and 11g database. during rhel installation, i can select which category and individual packages to install. i want to select MINIMUM packages for resource saving and security. what packages should i pick up? is there a guide doc?
thanks!

MINIMUM.
no additional packages for rhel installation except those are required by oracle database or for common linux admin tasks.The oracle installation guide does list the minimum requirements to support the oracle product being installed.
As for minimum requirements for the OS itself, that is beyond the scope/concern of Oracle documents. Doesn't the installation process prompt you for which components you want to install? If you don't know what you are doing, I'd be very leery of trying to create a 'minimal' installation of the OS.

New installation woes - SQLDeveloper on Oracle Linux x64 and Oracle 11g XE

Note that as an experienced Oracle developer in enterprise environments running MS Windows OS, I am familiar with SQLDeveloper for Windows. I don't have a lot of experience with Linux however. I don't find it intimidating, I just don't have a lot of accumulated knowledge.
I have recently been trying to set up a development environment on my Windows7 Professional x64 laptop.
1. Installed Oracle VBox
2. Installed Oracle Linux 5.2 inside the VBox (because Oracle 11g XE is not certified on 64 bit Windows, needed to go with a Linux OS)
3. Installed Oracle DB 11.2 XE
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
5. Installed SQLDeveloper 3.1.07.42-1
No apparent issues with any of the installations.
Problem : I can run SQL Plus from the command line, but when I click on the icon for SQLDeveloper, nothing happens. No error messages, nothing else.
Question #1 : Unsure how to debug/troubleshoot this. Will read through the installation and release notes for SQLDeveloper, but any suggestions would be welcome.
Question #2 : Could this be due to an issue with the JDK installation? It appeared to be successful (no obvious issues) but I can't see anything in the Oracle Linux menu system that tells me the JDK was installed successfully. How can I confirm that the JDK installation was successful?
Edited by: Peter Hartgerink on Jun 19, 2012 9:12 AM

>
The Linux x64 version of SQLDeveloper doesn't come bundled with JDK. There is a version of JDK recommended, with an advisory to install it before installing SQLDeveloper. This I did, with apparent success. I guess I'll have to install the JDK again and check my Java versions afterwards. Thanks.
>
I don't know what JDK you downloaded since you didn't say. What version was it? Post the link.
I find it hard to believe that the JDK version recommended was 1.4.2 since that is an ANCIENT version of Java, you have to hunt to even find it for download and most importantly the sql developer main download page clearly announces what version of Java is needed.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html

JDK Support
Oracle SQL Developer 3.1 is shipped with JDK1.6.0_11. However, you can connect to and use any JDK 1.6.0_11 or above. To use an existing JDK, download the zip files listed below "with JDK already installed."
>
As you can see you need JDK 1.6.0_11 or above.
If the version you say was recommended was actually 1.4.2 then that is an error; post the details so the developers can get that error fixed.
I don't know what is on your system and can only go by the information you provide
>
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
java version "1.4.2"
>
You either downloaded version 1.4.2, which seems unlikely, or your Linux included 1.4.2 and it is being used when you try to launch sql developer.
Perhaps your system now has multiple versions of Java on it but the version being used by sql developer is the wrong one. If so that is the issue you need to resolve.

Use Oracle Linux packages to fix GHOST: glibc vulnerability on RHEL4

Dear All,
It is the first time I use the discussion function. Hope someone from Oracle supprot team can help me.
P.S. I have Oracle support CSI for DB but I don't find whhich category I should submit my question.
Here is the our case.
Our user is still running RHEL 4.8(9) on some servers. For some reason, they don't want to upgrade them at the moment. As you know, GHOST: glibc vulnerability has been announced recently. For RHEL4, they have to purchase ELS subscription to download the packages even though they have the license. Our user doesn't want to pay for that. Meanwhile, we find Oracle Linux provides a package to fix the problem. We told them this finding and they would like to use Oracle Linux patch.
But to better explain the situation to them, we want confirm with Oracle about several points.
1. The patch can be downloaded and used for free but there is no support from Oracle,right?
2. Is it possbile to have the support from Oracle in such case - The OS is RHEL4.8(9) and some patches are provided by Oracle?
My understanding is that there is no supprot. Please help to confirm.
Thanks and regards,
Alpha

Please note that this is a user forum. You may find responses from Oracle here, but not necessarily.
To assume that Oracle would provide support for RHEL, just because you install a OL package, is a pretty wild assumption. I'm not aware that any vendor would provide support for another vendor. Nevertheless, OL and RHEL are 100 % user space and binary compatible, and so are the packages, unless you install anything that requires the Oracle UEK kernel or any other vendor specific product that is not GPL.
If you want to stay with Red Hat you will have to pay for support to Red Hat, or convert your system to Oracle Linux and you can install and download patches and errata for free. See Switching from Red Hat Network to Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) . OL provides patches and errata for free through Oracle Public YUM. If you need support for Oracle Linux from Oracle technical support, you will also need to buy a subscription to ULN.

Oracle linux 6 and fusionmiddelware 11g

when installing the fusionmiddlware 11g, i'm getting errors concerning the linux kernal not being correct. does anyone know if the linux 6 version is a supported os for fusionmiddlware 11g ??

Did you see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html ?
According to recent answers here, Oracle 11g is not certified for Oracle Linux 6 yet. Perhaps you can send an email to [email protected] for certification and product availability inquiries.

Where can I download the SampleApp Deployment Package for OBIEE 11g?

The SampleAppLite package included in the 11g install references a SampleApp package that makes more use of the new features. Both the documentation and the quickstart dashboard point to this link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/business-intelligence-foundation.html but this redirects and doesn't seem to lead to the enhanced SampleApp. Can anyone tell me where to find this?
Thanks!

Hi,
I think still has not put those,look into this website might find it.

binutils-2.15.92.0.2-13.EL4
control-center-2.8.0-12
gcc-3.4.3-22.1.EL4
gcc-c++-3.4.3-22.1.EL44

pdksh-5.2.14-30
sysstat-5.0.5-1
xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2

Hi Godavari,
All the packages required by Oracle 10g can be found on the OEL4 installation Disks.
For example,
If you are using OEL4 installation CDs, you can find the gnome-libs package at /Enterprise/RPMS/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44.2.i386.rpm.
BTW, you can also use "up2date --install <packagename>" if you can access ULN.
