Oracle 8.0.5 & SUSE Linux 6.0

Question

I am attempting to install Oracle 8.0.5 on SuSE 6.0 Linux but
receive the following error messages:
When running oratabs.sh - "GROUPS: read only variable"
When running orainst - "Permission Denied"
I have no patches installed on SuSE - do I need any? If so what
and where are they?
I would realy appreciate some help as I am not a Linux expert.
Thanks,

Hi Markus,
I don't know what exactly getImportedKeys/getExportedKeys do.
I suppose it's some kind of select on the data dictionary views.
The reason for the slow performance could be miss-configuration
of Oracle or a very large number of objects (say more than 20000
tables).
I could advice that you check there's nothing else in the SYSTEM
tablespace than the data dictionary.
U could use:
select * from dba_segments where OWNER not in ('SYS','SYSTEM')
and TABLESPACE_NAME = 'SYSTEM';
I could recomend that you set shared_pool_size to 100MBytes, and
db_block_buffers*db_block_size to 100MB.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Michael
P.S. it could help if you publish some of the SQL statements that
are slow.
