Launching Oracle (urgent !!!)

Question

when I installed Oracle 9i AS on my redhat 7.0, Oracle wasn't able to create a database with dbassist during the installation whereas I had run all root scripts. Now I'm trying to launch Oracle from svrmgrl with the oracle user (see RTFM)logged as member of dba group. But each time I launch svrmgrl, I got the answer end-of-file on communication channel, before doing anything. And I can(t find out why ?
Please help (urgent)

Answer 1

Linux - Redhat 7.0
Oracle - 8.1.7.
I have faced the same problem during my Oracle installation on Redhat 7.0. I was unable to creat database.After going through revealnet.com I found the following solution.1. Install the compat-glibc RPM for 2.1.3.x
(This is on the Redhat 7.0 CDs)
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 ( /lib/libc-2.1.3.so /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /libc_nonshared.a )
Substitute the value of $ORACLE_HOME for and the location of the compat-glibc directory for . 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
I have used this technique for RedHat 7.0 with the 2.2.16 kernel.
Thanks to Richard Rankin for this simple and reliable method.
After doing this, please create your database. It will work.
