Is there a Redhat Linux 86-64 version of Higher Ed Constituent Hub?

Is there a Redhat Linux 86-64 version of Higher Ed Constituent Hub? I am only able to find a Windows 32bit version to download.

There is no siebel 8.1.1 installers for linux 86-64 however you can find the linux x86 installers on support.oracle.com > patches & updates tab > query for patch number 8689307.
Thanks,

Installing Oracle 9i (version 9.0.1) on RedHat Linux 7.2

Hi All,
I've been trying to install Oracle 9i version 9.0.1 on RedHat
Linux 7.2 with kernel 2.4.7-10. This RH 7.2 is running on my
Compaq Armada M700 laptop that has 800MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM.
I have 10GB of diskspace on this laptop.
Someone in this group posted a howto on how to install Oracle 9i
on RedHat Linux 7.2 but for some reasons, Oracle Universal Installer
still hangs at 74% of the installation. Here is what I did:
1) Install RH 7.2 on the laptop. I also make sure that make, ar,
ld, nm and C for unix got installed when I installed RH 7.2.
I also verify by using the command "which make", "which ar",
"which ld" and "which nm" and they are also in the /usr/bin
directory. I also make the /tmp partition to be 800MB and
the swap file to be 500MB,
2) Modify the /etc/hosts file. This part is easy. I can ping
both the hostname, FQDN and the IP address of the laptop from
both locally and remotely (tested with SSH connection),
3) Go to blackdown.org and download jdk118_v3
4) Uncompress and put it in the /usr/local/jdk118_v3 directory,
5) Make a softlink ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
6) Download and install package:
rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
7) In /proc/sys/kernel/sem file, I modify the third column from 32 to 128,
8) Download and install package:
rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm
9) Download Linux9i_Disk1.cpio, Linux9i_Disk2.cpio and Linux9i_Disk1.cpio
to my laptop hard-drive,
10)Run cpio -idmv < Linux9i_Disk1.cpio (for 2 and 3 well),
11)Create a user account "oracle". This "oracle" account belongs to
group "oracle". Furthermore, I also create a directory /oracle
and change the owner and group permission to account "oracle"
12)Start the installer ( as Oracle User ) by typing ./runinstaller
13)The installer will ask you to run a started script as root ,
you may open a shell and type su then open Nautilus (
if using Gnome or File manager as super user if using KDE )
and drag the noted file to the shell screen and press enter,
after it is ended continue with the installer (done),
14)It asked to supply JDK home directory then it is /usr/local/java (done)
15)Unix group Name ( to update Oracle software ) : (I leave blank here)
16)Oracle home is : /oracle/9.0.1
/oracle/orainventory
From what the poster said, it should work; however, it did NOT work
for me. I've tried and tried but no avail. I have plenty of disk
space so I don't think space is an issue here.
Please help.

How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

have you tried using open motif 2.1.30?
the open motif version that comes with the redhat 7.3 is 2.2 and is not compatible with 6i. Once I used open motif 2.1.30 it worked fine. The environment variable setting is very similar to any other unix version. Ensure that you are also intalling the latest patch (10) for 6i (fixed lots of problems).

This is my work-around for RH 7. This John Smiley's step-by-step description which is posted elsewhere on this forum. It is better put than my original post:
Here is a step-by-step process for getting Oracle 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 working on systems with glibc 2.2 (don't bother with 8.1.5 if you can help it):
1. Install the compat-glibc RPM for 2.1.3.x
2. cd to the directory where compat-glibc installed the files (for me it's /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib).
3. Copy the following files to $ORACLE_HOME/lib:
libc-2.1.3.so
libpthread.so
libdl.so
ld-linux.so.2
For me, several of these are symbolic links, so you'll need to copy the target of the symbolic link and rename it to the link name when you copy it to $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
For example, if ls -l shows:
ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.1.3.so
libc-2.1.3.so
libdl.so -> libdl.so.2
libpthread.so -> libpthread.so.0
Then you will:
cp ld-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ld-linux.so.2
cp libc-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib
cp libdl.so.2 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libdl.so
cp libpthread.so.0 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libpthread.so
4. Create a file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib called libc.so with the following contents (as a single line):
GROUP ( <OH>/lib/libc-2.1.3.so <OH>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 <CL>/libc_nonshared.a )
Substitute the value of $ORACLE_HOME for <OH> and the location of the compat-glibc directory for <CL>. For example:
My $ORACLE_HOME is:
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
and my compat-glibc directory is:
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib
so the GROUP line looks like this for me:
GROUP (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/libc-2.1.3.so /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/libc_nonshared.a)
This is all one line.
5. cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
6. Run the following command from the UNIX prompt:
relink all
All of the Oracle software, including the assitants, will work fine now.

pls send the solution ASAP to my email id - ([email protected])

Make sure you have IBM's Java 1.1.8 JRE/JDK installed on your server and $JAVA_HOME set. Check the Oracle installation instructions. One other problem with Red Hat 7.0. is that
there is a libc library incompatibility problem with Red Hat linux 7.0 and Oracle 8i. The database will not start after you install it. Go to MetaLink (if you have support) and search for document # 121176.1. Basically, you have to download an older version of glibc, modify your Oracle link environment files, re-link the database executables and all will work normally. I did it on my Red Hat Linux 7.0 server two weeks ago and everything is working fine. Only other alternative is downgrade to Red Hat 6.2.

Installation of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3

Hi,
I am going to Install of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3, rigth now i am running oracle 9i on windows platform. I need following things:
-I want to export all my data from oracle 9i on windows. For this what is the best way should i transport my tablespace and install oracle 10g on linux and import them after creating db or should i simply export and import it from there.
-Is there any issues that i should look at before i transfer my database.
-We are a Industrial Laboratory and use scientific notation in our database. Would this import export can takecare of all the things or should i set some character set setting before import/export.
-Any thing else if you thing that i should take care.
Thanks & Regard
Rashid K.K

You cannot use transportable tablespace. Platform independent transportable tablespace run only on newer versions (10g). You have to create the tablespaces on you linux machine and than exp/imp (full=y).

REDHAT LINUX 7.3 on nForce based systems - An installation guide.

INSTALLING REDHAT LINUX 7.3 ON NFORCE BASED SYSTEMS.
A) Preface
I'm a Linux newbie, just sharing my experience with installing linux on nforce.
in my opinion Linux is a powerful but still a nascent operating system (in terms of user friendliness atleast!). many features are extremely 'release' and 'version' dependent. this means that, what works in redhat might not work in mandrake or what works in redhat 7.3 might not work in redhat 7.1 or likewise...
the steps i'm listing below just reflects how i went about installing RH 7.3 on my machine (K7N420D). it MAY not work for other versions or releases.
B) BIOS SETTINGS
1. I recommend, PnP disabled, ACPI/APIC disabled.
for Mandrake 8.2 install on some machines (mine included), i suggest disabling audio and network in the bios till you get a stable level 3 (console without X windows) or level 5 install. for some reason, sometimes, on some boards, Mandrake 8.2 hangs when probing audio and lan during boot.
C) PREPARING TO INSTALL
1. i suggest you get the three iso images from the internet and burn them into installation disks. though there are other ways of installing, this is the simplest way of doing it.
2. if you have windows installed already, make sure you have a windows boot floppy in case of boot problems, you can also make one for linux during installation.
3. using windows or fdisk strip off a sufficient chunk of hard disk space from an existing partition if you don't have a free partition. you need not create any partitions, just the non-allocated space would do. (as red hat can beautifully split this partition into /boot, / & swap partitions!)
4. i recommend using GRUB (GRand Unified Boot-loader) instead of LILO for boot management. if you prefer the same way, get good documentation/how-to for grub from the net. this will be handy if you mess up your boot partition and end up in a grub prompt during boot.
5. goto nvidia's drivers page and get appropriate drivers. i always recommend tar balls or src.rpm files instead of pre-compiled rpms. if you are using EXACT same version of the linux release as mentioned in the drivers page you can use rpms. If you wish to upgrade your kernel or use a different version of linux then make sure you have tar balls or source rpm files. make sure you also print the installation instructions from the same page.
6. the drivers you need are
a. NVIDIA_nforce-1.xxxx. - you need this one for audio & lan. (found in nforce link in drivers menu in nvidia site with an instruction manual)
b. NVIDIA_kernel-xxxx AND NVIDIA_GLX-xxxx- both these for Graphics in Xwindows. these two drivers should be exactly matched. i suggest you download all of them along with a files named NVchooser.sh found on the same page. NVchooser will tell you which pair to install for your linux kernel version and CPU.
D) LINUX INSTALLATION
1. boot from 1st installation disk that you made. go through the GUI installer and choose automatic partitioning, it will take you to the Disk Druid and you can select the partition in which you wanna install linux. if the partition you choose is unallocated, most of the times didk druid will make three patrtions on its own, one is /boot (boot partion), /swap (partition for swap, similar to ramdisk) and / (root partition). all the three mount-points may be allocated on the same partition too.
2. Choose GRUB (if you prefer) as boot loader and set Linux as primary boot OS and this page would've detected windows if you've already (it may appear as DOS). Choose "MBR" to install GrUB. If you get any warning ignore it. IMPORTANT: If you have NTFS partition for windows and you had windows as primary OS, there is a reported problem that says, in some versions of the linux installer, choosing MBR to install GRUB makes it hard to boot into windows. i haven't tried that option yet as i don't have a NTFS partition. If you have an NTFS partition, you may prefer to choose the other option to install GRUB or you may choose to install it later. in either case make sure you have a boot floppy to get you into linux or windows, whichever one you want.
3. choose automatic install if you don't want to control which packages you want to install. else choose expert installation and proceed with it.
4. when prompted to check the packages you want to install, choose "development tools" or something similar without fail. This is for installing a C compiler which is a must have for some driver installations. (this also installs perl and other dev tools, if you're an 'expert', there's an option in this page to custom select modules)
5. somewhere you'll be asked to provide a root password, in the same page there'll be a provision to add users other than root. create atleast one user other than root at this time.
4. somewhere you'll be shown a list of video adapters with NVIDIA Geforce 2 generic driver already highlighted. Below this screen you'll see a "Skip X install" or something similar. CHECK THIS TAB and this will NOT install the generic driver for your integrated GPU and also will not configure the GUI environment for Linux. This makes your video configuration a little easier.
5. now linux will install, get configured and will ask if you wanna create a boot floppy. make one just in case you
6. RH 7.3 will not recognize your APU and integrated LAN. you can install the drivers for this later.
7. After installation boot into Linux, if you just followed the steps above you'll nicely end up in level 3 console!
E) INSTALLING DRIVERS
1. Assuming you got all the drivers in CD/floppy, login as 'user', type command "su" (super user) supply root password, now you are logged in as root. read the installation manual for the NVIDIA drivers and install NVIDIA_nforce-1.xxxx drivers for audio/LAN. do these series of steps from the console prompt,
#vi /etc/modules.conf
press INSERT key, add the following lines,
alias eth0 mcpeth
alias sound-slot-1 i810_audio
alias usb-interface usb-ohci
press ESC, (Shift) colon, wq and Enter.
This will save the changes you made.
2. Now install the NVIDIA_kernel-xxxx AND NVIDIA_GLX-xxxx- drivers as per instructions. follow the steps below.
#XConfigurator
Choose settings that are relevant to the monitor you use and mode supported. Choose custom configuration wherever possible. If your monitor is not listed, choose 'custom' all the way through and provide hardware details such as horiz/vert freq range, video memory and clock settings (choose 'recommended').
DO NOT LET THE XCONFIGURATOR PROBE ANYTHING. sometimes this might cause a hang that is not necessary at all.
select all videomodes and color depths that you think your monitor will support and exit XConfigurator without any probing.
3. Now at the prompt do the following,
#vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Press INSERT and make following changes.
replace line
Driver "nv"
with
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section, make sure you have:
Load "glx"
Remove the following lines: (or put a hash before)
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
and the whole
Section "DRI" (last three lines usually, DRI may be in lower case usually)
Press Esc, (Shift) colon, wq, Enter to save and exit.
4. using vi make sure you have these lines in /etc/modules.conf file
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
5. edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and insert
/sbin/modprobe nvaudio
/sbin/modprobe nvnet
save and exit. ( this is a crude way of loading modules but it works though!)
6. Type "reboot" at prompt and reboot your system.
7. get into bios and load original settings. (get back ACPI if you have windows, enable PnP OS etc)
8. During restart linux may get you into the kudzu installer to install network drivers/audio, ignore this.
9. login as "user" and type "startx" from console, your GUI should start smooth and you'll have video, sound, USB, LAN working (you need to fiddle a little bit more to get things work perfect) !
10. There is extensive documentation found in the internet on these topics, have fun exploring them.
F) TWEAKING YOUR HARD DRIVE
most of the modern hard drives support UDMA transfers and usually linux is pretty much conservative on this option. so you might want to force linux to use UDMA. the following discussion assumes that your hard drive is /dev/hda, change it to hdb, hdc etc as per your setup.
CAUTION: The 'hdparm' utility described here is a very powerful and dangerous if used improperly. USING hdparm IMPROPERLY MIGHT CORRUPT YOUR PARTITIONS AND RESULT IN SEVERE DATA LOSS. hdparm works with IDE drives. i'm not sure how it works on SCSI drives.
@ console,
1. type "man hdparm" and read through the hdparm manual atleast twice before you understand what it can do. THIS IS A MUST.
2. login as root or get into super user mode and try the following. all commands are shown after #
3. Benchmark the hard drive
# /sbin/hdparm -t -T /dev/hda
this should spit out the transfer rate both cached and sustained. note this value. if these values are close to what you expect out of your drive, you are OK. you may get out of further adventures! if the transfer rates are horrible like 3.5 Mbps etc (it was on my seagate ata IV drive!), then proceed with the tweaks. the golden rule is, after each tweak, run the benchmark and record your transfer rate. if there is no significant improvement, revert back to the default settings.
4. # /sbin/hdparm -i /dev/hda
note down MaxMultSect, MultSect, Modes supported : PIO/DMA, especially the mode with a 'star' in front of it. (prefered mode)
5. 32 bit I/O : to enable 32 bit I/O over the PCI bus
# /sbin/hdparm -c1 /dev/hda
this usually doubles your transfer rate if the drive supports. you may need to use -c3 for some chipsets.
6. Enable DMA and set DMA mode
if your drive supports DMA find out the prefered DMA mode using -i option.
# /sbin/hdparm -d1 -Xab /dev/hda, where
ab=64 + uDMA mode number (for eg. 66 for UDMA 2)
ab=32 + DMA mode number (for multi-word DMA mode)
you might need to prepare the chipset to enable DMA but on most of the modern hard dirves this works. refer to the "man hdparm" for details. beware, the options to 'prepare' the chipset for DMA should be used with EXTREME caution. if you do not know what you are doing, don't try it.
7. To set multiple sector mode I/O,
# /sbin/hdparm -m XX /dev/hda
where XX is the MaxMultSect value obtained using -i option. if the MaxSect is already set to this value, you need not tweak this.
after all these tweaks run the benchmark atleast three times consecutively and average the transfer rates. make sure you don't hear grinding noises in the hard drive. use these tweaks a couple of times manually and if verything appears to be working fine, add the necessary commands to the rc.local script to execute them automatically during start up.
G) FINAL WORDS
I assumed that you're a total 'newbie' to linux when writing this so i followed a conservative approach. most of the things that i described can be done in many ways, it's up to you to explore them! as usual, there MIGHT be typos and other serious errors in this guide. also the driver files that i might have mentioned here are the ones that were available when i wrote this. so you might wanna try their latest equivalents. i'm open to all healthy criticism and suggestions. when i installed linux on my nforce board, i was badly looking for an article like this on the net. i missed one, if it exists at all. so am i writing this. i hope you'll get benefitted by this in some way.
-Venk@

Venkat,
Thanks for this really really amazingly accurate and exhaustive post that helped me A LOT to install linux on my machine!!! Otherwise, I think I would still be hanging with a mandrake 8.2 trying to load sound...
My system is now fully functional but, (yes, there is a little but) I was not able to make the LAN function properly. When booting, while linux tries to load the ethernet module, I get something like:
'mcpeth device does not seem to be present, delaying eth0 initialiation'. Then, I open an X session, I try to use the network configurator, the ethernet device is there but when trying to activate, it fails... I swear I enabled the LAN in my BIOS.
I also tried to replace 'alias eth0 mcpeth' with 'alias eth0 nvnet' in /etc/modules.conf after reading the installation notes of NVIDIA drivers. I get a slighty different result: my boot error is now 'failed to load module'.
It is a shame I have to boot back to Windows to use my DSL connection. I think i need some insights. It will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chouch

Succes installing 9iAS R2 (release 2) on RedHat Linux 7.3

I had success installing 9iAS release 2 on RedHat Linux 7.3. I used the instructions on http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml.
At first, I tried this on RedHat 8.0. Funny thing is: installation of infrastructure failed even though I followed the instructions. Then I downloaded 7.3, followed EXACTLY the same instructions and voila, works like a charm.
Puschitz' instructions are for 9i and not for 9iAS though. Some additions:
1) One of the pre-installation steps there says to set some environment variables, one of them being the SID. It's set to 'test', but of course with standard settings the sid of the database that comes along with 9iAS has a SID of 'iasdb'.
2) Also what I did, was to downgrade the binutils package to the version provided by Oracle here: http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/files/binutils_readme.html. As an alternative, Puschitz says to change some makefiles. I didn't try this.
3) I then installed the infrastructure. When finished, I exited the installation and rebooted. After the reboot:
4) I changed to the /bin directory and typed (as root):
ln -s /sbin/fuser
5) Changed back to user 'oracle' and started the infrastructure with:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus
connect / as sysdba
startup
exit
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidmon connect=iasdb start
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidctl connect=iasdb server=oidldapd instance=1 start
$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
6) Then started the installer and did the middletier installation. Rebooted.

Following your instructions i've also succesfull installation of ias9iR2 Infrastructure on Redhat7.3. Checked the database Iasdb and Enterprise Manager Website (on http://liminwang:1810), everything works fine. Hence i try to install Portal & Wireless on the same machine on a different Oracle_home (but on the same Oracle_base) according to the installation guide. The installation stuck when i've chosen the Portal and Wireless option. I get a warning that the Enterprise Manager Website Process is still running and it must be stopped to proceed the stallation. So i stopped this process by: $oracle_home/bin/emctl stop
Still i get the same warning. Stopping the database also doesn't help. Even when i deinstalled the Enterprise Manager Website component i get the same warning.
Please help!

Oracle9i Rel2 installation fails on Redhat linux 7.3

Hello there.
My m/c is Pentium III 500MHz m/c with 320MB physical RAM and it has Redhat Linux 7.3 installed.
I'm trying to install oracle 9i and it fails in DB creation. The "dbca" shows an error message
"ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment" when it is at 51% through.
I have configured 1.9GB of swap space. The "ipcs" command do show some shared memory allocation under "oracle" user id with "0777" permission. I can't really figure where to start in analysing this problem. Your inputs are very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Vimala.

You need to know that while installing Oracle software itself you must not invoke any wizard like adjusting Oracle network or creating databases , just finish of the Installation , restart machine and start configuring the network and databases , this approach was very successfull with Servers who have less than 1 G Ram.
I have installed 9i R2 over 256M ram over Redhat 7.3 , no Problem JUST , if this problems happens after installing the Oracle software itself , it is reported by Oracle that it has bug in this version that happens for instance when you open a shell window , startup a database and exit SQL+ , when trying to shut it down from the same window it returns the same stated error before , I managed to solve it by ( from inside SQL+ ) giving :
!ipcs oracle
Then
!ipcrm ****
**** = the id numbers of Oracle processes for shared memory realm.
Then exit SQl+ , open another shell window , start SQL+ and we are back on business again.
This is all instead of resatrting the server.

Problems and solutions for 9i DB R2 install on Redhat Linux AS 2.1

Installing 9iDB R2 9.2.0.1.0 on Redhat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 (aka Redhat Enterprise Linux (AS))
and applying patchset 2 (9.2.0.3.0)
This is a certified platform but I hit many problems getting the install to work. Here are the problems I hit and how I solved them.
Note: This is not intended to be a install for dummies but just an account of all my problems and how I overcame them. I spent 10 hours on this certified install (mostly looking for solutions to the problems I was having)
I had a Intel Pentium 3 with 512 Meg RAM. (test machine)
1. Install Redhat Linux
2. Install Sun JDK 1.3.1 (this is not actually required for this install. I installed it as I was planning to install 9iAS after this)
3. Install binutils-2.11.90.0.8-13 (also not required. I installed it for 9iAS)
All other components were ok on my Redhat Linux install (i.e. kernel version, glibc)
4. Create oracle user with dba group
5. Create oracle home and oracle base directories. Ensure these are owned by oracle with rwx
6. Set kernel parameters and make sure that they are initialized every startup:
I managed to locate this script in the Redhat document called
"Deploying Oracle9iTM on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS"
create a file called oracle.sh in /etc and give it execute permissions
oracle.sh
#!/bin/bash
# configures kernel and system parameters for Oracle9i R2
# File handles
echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
ulimit -n 65536
# Shared memory
# The default SHMMAX value is too low and likely to cause a failure during
# database creation. SHMMAX should be equal to half of your system's physical
# RAM.
# The default is for 512 MB of RAM. Replace the default value as appropriate
# for the amount of memory in your system, i.e.,
# 512 MB : 268435456
# 1 GB : 536870912
# 2 GB : 1073741824
# 4 GB : 2147483648
echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
# It is generally safe to leave these next two values as they are
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
echo 2097152 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
# Semaphores
echo 250 32000 100 128 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
# Sockets
echo 1024 65000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
# Processes
ulimit -u 16384
----EOF---------
then...
# chmod +x /etc/oracle.sh # make executable
# . /etc/oracle.sh # apply changes now
edit /etc/rc.local to ensure this is run on startup
append to /etc/rc.local
# configure system for Oracle9i R2
bash /etc/oracle.sh
--------EOF--------------------
7. create a generic oracle environment setup script for all users to run
create the file /etc/profile.d/oracleenv.sh
be sure to change the variables to your environment (ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID)
oracleenv.sh
# Configures the user's environment for Oracle9i R2
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.1.0
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
ORACLE_SID=orcl
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORA_NLS33 ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH
----EOF---------
chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/oraclenv.sh
This file will run when a user logs in.
8. Install oracle DB
This took me quite a few attempts.
The first Install I did I received the error jre was not found. This issue seemed to be relating to the fact I was not installing on a Pentium 4. Oracle was looking for the jre in oracle.swd.jre/bin/i686 (and .../lib/i686) when some of the files were placed in i386 and java was looking in i386. This created a real mess. I had encountered a similar problem on a previous install on a different platform. I found articles of people that tried to just link the directories with symbolic links but this never worked. I tried my own version but also failed.
The solution that worked for me was to de-install, remove all the oracle directories created by the install (this part I had always done) AND also delete the file /etc/oraInstl.loc. This makes the Installer truly believe this is the first time Oracle has been installed on this box. My jre problem disappeared after that. (I don't know why it just didn't work in the first place...)
The next error I received was an ORA-03113 when creating the database (in the dbca). (It was actually at this point that I found the document from redhat as mentioned in my set 6 above) I also noticed that when running the install of the database, the default was for Oracle's SGA to use 70% of the available memory on my machine (I have 512M so that's 360M). Oracle instructed me to set shmmax to around 240M. This may be why the database creation failed as I thought the shmmax parameter needed to be larger that SGA. Anyway, I reduce the SGA to 50% and it worked.
This error may also have been caused by the kernel parameters not being set properly after a reboot so if you implementing stop 6 above. You may never get this problem, hopefully.
8. Install the universal Installer 2.2.0.18.0 (a prerequisite for installing the patchset 2)
You will need this to install the patchset 2. You can get it from metalink by searching for the bug number in the patch area. Search for bug/patch number 2878462 in patches. (37Meg for linux intel)
(Did you know that when oracle refer to a bug number, you should treat this as a patch number? General the bugs are not available for public viewing but oracle create a patch of the same number as a placeholder. So don't search for the bug in the site search or by doc id, go straight to the "patches" area and enter the bug number as a patch number, you'll have more success. - I only found that out today after struggling with metalink for the last 4 years)
9. Install the patchset 2
I downloaded patchset 2 (which will bring my DB version to 9.2.0.3.0) (220Meg). There is a special symbolic link command you'll need so make sure you remember to do this.
i.e.
$ cd $ORACLE_BASE/oui/bin/link
$ ln -s libclntsh.so.9.0 libclntsh.so
10. Migrate your database
I could not get this to work. The docs says I need at least 150M shared_pool_size and 150M Java_pool_size before running the startup migrate. As I only have 512Meg RAM (and shmmax set to 230M) I did hold much hope that this would work. I started my DB without the migrate option just to see if it would actually open with 300M in my pools. It did, so I shut it down and restarted with the migrate option. After 5 minutes of heavy processing (I still have an empty database) my server appeared to hang. I decided to restart the machine and just re-create my DB with the new patchset already applied. I delete my $ORACLE_BASE/oradata/<sid> directory and remove the entry from /etc/oratab and re-created my DB. This worked fine :)
I hope this document helps you for your install. Please drop me line if it does help and I'll endevour to write more documents like this one.
Please drop me a quick line at [email protected] even just to say "thanks".
I will include a few keywords here to help the searches find this document. (mainly the keywords I searched on and failed to find a doc like this one)
ORA-03113 ORA-3113 03113 3113 jre was not found jre not found i686 i386 i586 9iDB R2 9.2.0.1.0 9.2.0.3.0 Redhat Advanced Server 2.1 AS Enterprise Linux (AS) RH install error installation errors oui dbca problem issue
Good luck,
Tim Daniell.

The trick that worked for me was on a 2nd attempt. I installed once, let it fail with "jre was not found", de-install through the installer, delete all directories and files under $ORACLE_BASE (including $ORACLE_HOME), and also delete /etc/oraInst.loc.
I don't know why it fixes itself with this. Oracle say this is an unresolved bug 2726268 that lies in the installer. This is still unresolved by Oracle (as at 02-June-03) therefore it is not a published bug/patch. If this doesn't work, I suggest you open an iTAR and see if Oracle has any more suggestions for you.
Cheers,
Tim.

Gdb gets SIGSEGV from JVM in JDK 1.3.1_01 on RedHat Linux 6.2

Hi all,
I'd love to know if anyone has a fix for this problem? I am also posting it as a bug.
Thanks in advance!
OVERVIEW:
When running Tomcat 4.0 via the Java launcher in a gdb debugging session (Red Hat Linux 6.2), I get a SIGSEGV signal (Segmentation fault) when I execute some of the example JSPs/servlets. Since Tomcat is pure Java, I'm assuming the problem is most likely with the JVM and the way it handles signals, or possibly with gdb since I only see this behavior with gdb. The problem is fairly reproducible; I usually get it when I execute the "ErrorPage" JSP sample in Tomcat's "examples" webapp.
Note that I don't see these signals when running the JVM standalone (outside of gdb). What's also weird is that I successfully tell gdb to "continue" after the segfault, and the app continues to work like nothing ever happend.
As an aside, the reason why I did this test was because I was experiencing very similar problems in my own application that embeds a JVM via JNI.
DESCRIPTION:
Here is what I did to see the problem.
First, I set the debugger in the environment, so that the jdk/bin/java script can run the java launcher in gdb:
export DEBUG_PROG=gdb
Next, I run the jdk/bin/java script:
cd jdk1.3.1_01/bin
java
This brings up the Java launcher within gdb, and I run it as I specify the necessary arguments to startup Tomcat:

As a reference, I built the Java launcher code included in the JDK 1.3.1_01 distribution, producing the replacement binary for:

I copied the source files out of the jdk1.3.1_01/src/src/launcher/ directory, and they consist of the following files:
java.c
java.h
java_md.c
java_md.h
My build directory also contains the jdk1.3.1_01 subdirectory to include the JNI headers from and as a sample jdk to test the build output with.

Also experiencing SIGSEGV with tomcat 4.0 on AIX. Runs for months. Then out of the blue, crashes.
I wonder if setting reloadable=false in .../conf/server.xml could be the culprit ?
Or the servlet writing to a local file using a BufferedOutputStream ?

Successful installation of 8iEE 8.1.7 on RedHat linux 7.2 but no luck with Oracle 9i

Hi All,
I've successfully installed Oracle8i EE version 8.1.7 on RedHat
Linux 7.2. However, I have NOT had much luck installing Oracle
9i version 9.0.1 on RedHat Linux 7.2. I am wondering if anyone
in this forum has any luck installing Oracle 9i on RedHat Linux
7.2. I am running Linux kernel 2.4.7-10.
Now I am not trying to start a shouting match here; however, it
seems to me that a person with any common sense would not run
Oracle database on a Windows platform. Instead of running it
on Windows platform, one would be much better off running it on
Linux platform. I am currently Oracle EE 8.1.7 on an dual-Intel
processor 266MHZ with 512MB of RAM with Linux as the Operating
System. I have to say that the performance of the box is really
solid. At the same time, I am also running Oracle EE 8.1.7 on
an identical hardware system with Win2K server and I have to say
that the performance system is really pitiful on this Win2k server.
The windows box can only 1 instance at a time. If I try to have
two instances running at the same time, the windows box just comes
to a screeching halt. In contrast, the Linux box really rocks. In
a testing environment, I have 3 instances running at the same time
and the linux is barely breaking a sweat. I am getting maximum
performance out of the linux box because I recompile the linux kernel
to optimize the box to run Oracle database.
Having said that, as an Oracle DBA newbie (with less than six months
of Oracle DBA experience, the last ten years as a Cisco/Unix Engineer),
I find it fascinating that Oracle is only certified to run on SUSE (may
be I am wrong and someone can correct me on this one) when RedHat is
probably the dominant Linux distro. It took three days to get Oracle 8i
version 8.1.7 to install on RedHat Linux 7.2. Why Oracle is slowed to
support Linux RedHat is something I just don't understand.
OK, enough of venting my frustration, if anyone has successfully installed
Oracle 9i EE version 9.0.1 on RedHat Linux 7.2, please share your knowledge.
In the mean time, if anyone interested in obtaining instructions on howto
install Oracle 8i version 8.1.7 on Redhat Linux 7.1/7.2, send me an email
at [email protected] and I will send the instructions. The instructions
are written specifically for "windows dummies" so it is very to read and
follow. If you have been Unix for a long time, there will be instructions
in there that are so easy some of you may ask why put those in there in the
first place. My response would be: "windows dummies".
Regards,
Michael (david)

I very much agree with you Oracle is working very much better on Unix/Linux than Windows BUT in many cases you are obliged to use windows ( in Case that My company high managment enforce it ) , I have installed 9i on Windows and Linux , I am herunder including the full details :
========================================================================
Installing Oracle 9i on Linux
     Linux : Redhat 7.2
     Oracle : 9i Server EE 9.0.1.0.0
     RAM Used : 256 M Ram
     Hard Disk : IDE RAID
     Linux Kernel : 2.4.4-10
     JDK : Blackdown jdk118_v3 => downloaded from www.blackdown.org
     All shell here is the Bash shell ( Bourne again shell )
1.     To run a shell script over Linux , just drag the shell file from the file manager and drop it to a shell window
     Be sure to have swap space of 400 M or more
     If the systems stop responding for some time , leave it , it will continue
     Be sure to make a stage area for the CDs # 2 , 3 only because you will start from the CD 1 but after going in the installation the CDROM freezes and refuses to open door to replace CD ,, in this case you will switch to the last 2 CDs from the stage area
     Make sure you have the following executables at /usr/bin : MAKE , AR , LD , NM , C for Unix that is installed during Linux installation from the distribution media
Steps ( Root User ) :
1.     be sure to have to have your server domain is like hostess.com.eg and you can be able to ping it
     open /etc/hosts
     add a line as follows ( for instance ) :
     192.168.0.11 hostess.com.eg hostess
     ping hostess.com.eg
     ping hostess
     ping 192.168.0.11
     be sure to have a replay for all of them
2.     install JDK inside the /usr/local directory => after downloading the JDK you can easily decompress it but just clicking at it using the GUI
3.     get to the / prompt
4.     type ln s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
5.     download binutil RBM from Redhat for version 7 of Linux to downgrade binutils for Linux 7.2 or you will encounter an error at the third CD set
6.     download it from : ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.0/en/os/i386/redhat/rpms/binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
7.     run it as follows : rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
8.     change to /proc/sys/kernel
9.     type cat sem
10.     you will get : 250 32000 32 128
     250 => SEMMSL
     32000 => SEMMNS
     32 => SEMOPM
     128 => SEMMNI
11.     you need to have the SEMOPM to be 128 , to do so , locate the file called sem open it replace the value of 32 with 128
12.     type again cat sem to be sure of taking the required effect
13.     after the installation ends just re-install the 7.2 utils again as follows :
14.     rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm
15.     you can find the last RPM at the 7.2 CD set
16.     after downloading the Oracle files from the net you need to decompress it as follows (one step) :
     zcat linux9i_disk1.cpio.gz | cpio idmv
     zcat linux9i_disk2.cpio.gz | cpio idmv
     zcat linux9i_disk3.cpio.gz | cpio idmv
17.     you can decompress them at 2 steps as follows :
     gunzip linux9i_disk1.cpio.gz
     gunzip linux9i_disk2.cpio.gz
     gunzip linux9i_disk3.cpio.gz
     cpio idmv < linux9i_disk1.cpio
     cpio idmv < linux9i_disk2.cpio
     cpio idmv < linux9i_disk3.cpio
18.     Now you have 3 directories , have care when Burning them to CD because you need to take care of paths
19.     if you have downloaded the files via a Windows machine and have a MKS installed over it you can easily invoke Visual Pax and decompress the files at one go using the GUI program
20.     log on to Linux as Root and run commands in the file commands.txt
21.     log on as user Oracle to be sure that its created
22.     log on as root again
23.     get to the directory of /home/oracle
24.     enable showing the system files
25.     open the file of .bash_profile
26.     add the accompanied bash file contents at the end of it to set the environment variables
27.     log on as user Oracle
28.     open shell and type set and be sure that environment variables are set correctly
29.     open shell and change to the cdrom by typing cd /mnt/cdrom => Linux 7.2 is an auto mounting OS so you at no need to mount the CD drive prior to using it and if you need to mount it just type : AS ROOT
     mount t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom /cdrom
     this is surly after creating a directory at / called cdrom
30.     Start the installer ( as Oracle User ) by typing ./runinstaller
31.     the installer will ask you to run a started script as root , you may open a shell and type su then open Nautilus ( if using Gnome or File manager as super user if using KDE ) and drag the noted file to the shell screen and press enter ,, after it is ended continue with the installer
32.     if asked to supply JDK home directory then it is /usr/local/java
33.     Unix group Name ( to update Oracle software ) : oinstall
34.     Oracle home is : /oracle/9.0.1
35.     base directory : /oracle/orainventory
