Installing Oracle 11g R2 on RHEL 5.9 server

Hi,
    I've been trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 server but have not succeeded thus far. The server meets all the software and hardware requirements for Oracle 11g Release 2 and when it also has all the prerequisite packages/ RPM's on it, when checked manually. I have set up the various kernel, semaphore and local port range parameters in accordance with the Oracle guides for installing Oracle on RHEL 5. I also followed the online guides to create the "oracle" user and set up the groups (oinstall, dba, oper and asm).
    However, when I run the installer, it shows "Failed" for all the prerequisite checks. I tried to ignore this and install Oracle but it failed at 37% and gave multiple errors, related to invoking target 'XYZ' of different files including makefile and gcc.
     I suspect that either the installer is unable to detect these packages as they already exist on our server or it is something to do around permissions to the groups. I read on these forums that it might be because of a "cvu" folder created inside /tmp that requires '777' permission but am not sure if that's what's causing our installation to fail.
     Please let me know how to proceed with the installation and guide me through this.
Thanks.

Hi, its Oracle 11g R2 - 2.0.3.6 .
The O.S is Linux x86_64
server: RHEL 5.9 (Takinga) with kernel: 2.6.18
I've been working on this all day today and have managed to overcome the errors regarding the missing/ failed packages. I've also verified that my kernel parameters are correct; I had missed the kernel shmmni parameter yesterday.
The installer now detects all the packages & runs till 86% when it gives the error: "error invoking target client_sharedlib of makefile".
Kindly let me know how to proceed. Thanks in advance !

Hi;
Firstly you are working on server or you use some telnet program like putty? If you are working on server than issue is:
as root
xhost +
than run xlock and be sure u can see clock
than su - oracle
xhost + once more than try to run ./runInstaller
If you connect server remotly than i use vncwier
1. as root run export DISPLAY=hostname or IP:1.0
2. xhost +
3. run xclock and see u see it on vncviwer
4. su - oracle
5. run export DISPLAY again
6. xhost
7. /runInstaller

I hope that someone can me reply.

That is not an Oracle site and thus does not constitute a statement by Oracle regarding ANTYHING. It most certainly does NOT support your assertion that "RHEL 6 is certified by oracle"
The link is merely someone's hack to install Oracle on an un-certified platform.Please note that the site already mentions that Oracle is not supported on RHEL 6.x. See right at the beginning of the page something like ...
Important Information
A production usage is offically not yet recommended since no Oracle RDBMS products have at the date of 17th October 2011 been certified on RHEL 6.x.
Furthermore there are hundreds of installation guides on supported systems. The page itself is therefore not merely a hack. I think we will have to wait until Oracle 12c or similar is released before Oracle is supported on RHEL 6.x. Running in the meantime Oracle on RHEL 6.x is from my point of view and experience fine as long as you do not rely on Oracle support services. Nevertheless for the time being RHEL 5.x is the way to go. With such a setup there won't be discussions like this one. :-)

Install Oracle 11g R2 64-bit on Windows 7 home premium

Hi Guys
I'm a little pissed off.I've installed Oracle 11g R2 a few times now..on windows xp without any issues but the first time I've tried to install 11g R2 64-bit on my new laptop and it just won't work.
The installation goes just fine until step 4 System class and I chose Desktop class and the installation program just hangs.
I've done the following steps
1: Installed Java SDK 6 update 31 in the following directory C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_31
2: I've also disabled User account control settings to never notify.
3: I've tried unzipping the two zip files separately and together with the same result.(hung installation)
4: updated java_home and path environment variables with the java sdk directory. (My path does have other values which have a space between directory names..ive tried
removing all those entries and just keeping the java directory entry but it still gave me the same error)
5: I always kick off the installation setup.exe file as an administrator.
I'ld appreciate some help....

Installing Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.5.10 Beta

I've installed Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.5.10 Beta.
It came back with installation successful.
How do I get the Oracle Database Server(Oracle ODP.NET) to appear as one of my datasource choices?
I added the Oracle.DataAccess.dll (v. 2.111.5.10) to my bin folder. I restarted VS2005, dropped a gridview on the page, selected NewDatasource. My only options are for Microsoft.

This step by step tutorial should help you out:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/net11gobe/building.net/vs_otn2.htm
There are parts of the tutorial that you can skip since you are only interested in ODP.NET showing up as a data source and using it within a gridview.
