Oracle 8.1.5 on SUSE Linux 7.2 - Is it worth it?

Hello-
I have been trying to install Oracle 8.1.5EE on SUSE 7.2 for
days now and the installation has been the worst I have
encountered in many a year! I am thinking about scapping this
whole thing and moving onto another RDMS. If and when I get
Oracle running on Linux will I be faced with these same
installtion problems in my day to day maintenence? For such a
well known company I sure thought they could come up with
something slicker than this!
Problems so far:
JRE - Too many to list.
OraInstaller:
1. Does not show any Networking options
2. Reports not enough space for a 4GB /u01
3. Even when I select to "not" to run dbassist it does anyways
Patch:
1. I had to dig through mounds of documentation to find this
patch was neccesary.
2. Reboot. ?
dbassist:
1. Unset NLS_LANG etc...
2. SIGFAULTS halfway thru process.
At this point I am ready to bag Oracle and go with PostgreSQL
Sincerely,
Davin Flatten

Look, nobody should be going to anything other than 901 on 7.2.
Do you like to waste your time? Fastcenter sells these systems,
they install without a flaw and they're rock solid. Why install
a version that's unsupported ?!?

Unable to install Oracle Developer Suite 10 on SuSe Linux 11.0

Hi all,
I have installed Oracle 11g on SuSe Linux 11.0 with no issues. I am unable to install Oracle Developer Suite10.12.02 on same (SuSe 11.0). The installation gets to about 94% and then fails with the following error:

The only serious flaw I can see in the config is that I'm using libstd++ 4.3 instead of the requested 3.2.2 which 'should' be acceptable as it's a newer version - can anyone help please? Thanks in advance for any helpful advice anyone can offer.
Richard Foley
ps. What's also a bit odd, is that the overall exit status of the installation is regarded as succesful...

Hi Hub,
Done that, nothing:

On the off-chance that it had something to do with installing Oracle 11.0 with ODS Developer 10.0, I've rolled my database installation back too, so now I have:

Oracle 9i install Errors on SuSE Linux 9

I am getting a makefile error on ins_rdbms.mk during the initial install of Oracle 9i.
I've done a grep on make while it is running, and see the command is as follows:
usr/bin/make -f /usr/local/Oracle/oracleSTM/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk ioracle ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/Oracle/oracleSTM
When I run it manually, I get the following errors:
hidden symbol `__fixunssfdi' in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.1/libgcc.a(_fixunssfdi.oS) is referenced by DSO
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sean

Hello Widya,
I am glad that you found our documents helpful.
Did you face any problems while following the document? Was it clear enough? Did the installation go as documented?
If no, then I would like to hear about them. We can update the document to make it more useful to OTN Users.
It would be very helpful is you can mention the problems; if any.
Thanks,
Rajat

When will Oracle Ship 10g on AMD64 SuSe Linux

For a company that talks linux. I wish they would practice what they preach.

Are you talking specifically about a 64bit version? If there's a compelling reason you want 10g now, the 32bit 10g works fine on Linux.
Don't forget Oracle runs on a huge number of platforms (infact there are very few comparisons to other pieces of software of this calibre that I can think of that run on as diverse platforms as Oracle).
As far as I'm concerned Oracle release their software when it's ready to run in production, not before and not after...when it's ready. Until then we just have to wait.

Can't install Oracle on SuSE Linux 9.3 Pro

Hi,
i try since three weeks to install Oracle 9.2 Release 2. My last Problem was,
that i didn't know how to log in as the created Oracle User. This Problem is solved.
But when i install Oracle as the Oracle User and try to configure the Administrator
Group, i get the error, that i don't have the specific permission to change that,
so i gave the Oracle User all Rights about every directory (chown oracle:dba / ).
After that the Installation proceed without any problem, but after the Installation,
the Database Configuration Assistant failed to install and two other Assistants, too.
So, i don't know where there problem is. I fulfilled every pre-installation Task, but
it still isn't possible for me, to install Oracle 9.2 on a SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional
System.
If anyone could help me along this Installation, i would be very thankful.
Thanks a lot
Daniel

But when i don't give the oracle user all rights, it isn't possible to proceed with theinstallation
But if you give that rights then it's a security hole. According to your words I guess you have similar enviroment settings:
ORACLE_BASE=/
ORACLE_HOME=/<directory_name>
Why you not installing on deeper directory such as /opt or some your own directory? For example
ORACLE_BASE=/myoracledir
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/<directory_name>
Then chown -R oracle:dba /myoracledir.
Then oracle will be owner just for /myoracle directory and all its subdirectories.
i just could look at the error details, but they didn't described the erroranyway.
That's not so true. Error log you could find in /tmp/OraInstallYYYY-MM-DD_HH_MI_SS..

Oracle 8.0.5 & SUSE Linux 6.0

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.

"The following executables must present in the /usr/bin directory : make, ar, ld, nm"
But after the Linux insalltion I found that only make executable is present and other doesn't. My doubt is, if I continue with the Oracle Installtion without these files does the installer cause any problems? If so how do I get these executables, as these executables doesn't exist in the "Software Installation" listing of SuSe 7.3 Professional edition?
Another doubt is, Does SuSe 7.3 Professional edition suitable for Oracle 9i Database server? I checked the Kernal version, it seems to be OK.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

8.1.7 installation fails on Suse Linux 7.0 with libjox8oracle_jpub_c.so error

I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Suse Linux 7.0 (with glibc 2.1.3).
However, while runnning universal installer, I get the following error messages:
"Error in writing to file /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/javavm/admin/libjox8oracle_jpub_c.so"
and (later):
"I/O error in file /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/jis/install/ncomp_so_full_orb.jar"
When trying to link the Oracle components, the installer produces:
"Error in invoking target utilities of makefile /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk"
After installation is finished, some Oracle utilities can't be started.
E.g., svrmgrl fails and I can't create a database instance.
What's going wrong here? I tried to reinstall Oracle several times, but this
behaviour is reproducible. Yes, I unset LANG, and set all necessary environment
variables. Any ideas would be really helpful!

Hi:
I am experiencing the same problem. I followed the installation instructions to the dot, but found that the universal installer (UI) (java based) fails at the very beginning.
I'm still trying to install. However, as per the installation instructions, I didn't install Java. So the UI is only running on the runtime version that comes with the CD.
If I make any progress these days, I will post the solution...

Oracle 8.1.7 on Suse 7.3

I am installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Suse Linux 7.3. I am getting the error 'Error invoking target relink of make file /oracle/precomp/lib/ins_precomp.mk' at 65% of relinking. I tried with unsetting LD_SELF_CONTAINED as mentioned here and re-running genclntsh under $ORACLE_HOME/bin, but it gives a lot of systax errors and finally the message create library /oracle/lib/libclntst8.a The relinking error continues. Is there any other solution?

Hallo,

Installation problem Oracle 9i on SuSE Linux 7.2 s390

Hi all
I've got a problem after having installed Oracle9i on a S390 box with SuSE linux 7.2. When I launch sqlplus, I've got the following message :
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
It appears the shared library libclntsh.so.9.0 was not included in the tarball I've downloaded from the Oracle site.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Forget my question : I've found the answer in the document ID 158104.1. Even if my problem was not exactly the one mentioned (I hadn't any problem during compile time), the cure was good.

Problem with installing Oracle 10g on Suse Linux

Hi everybody!
I downloaded Oracle 10g Express from this url:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html
it is free version for developers.
I copied it into computer where was installed Suse Linux Enterprise Edition.
But when I run it shows this kind of error:
error: rpmReadSignature failed: region failed: BAD, tag 15872 type 2047 offset 20480 count 4096
error: oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
It was downloaded without any problem. But checksum is different from that shown on website. I think this is the problem.
What is the problem? Does anybody know answer?
Regards,
Seti's fiction

Yes, you appear to have a bad copy.
I have not had a problem when the check sum matched. Therefore I encourage you to download again.

Installation: Oracle 10g on SUSE Linux 10.1

Can this be? I sat for hours preparing my all new clean SUSE Linux 10.1 server for the installation of Oracle 10g (Standard Edition)... and when running the installer it simply tells me that SUSE 9 is needed...
I've found others here in the forum having experienced the same.
Maybe I just downloaded the wrong version of Oracle?
The main download page is at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
I selected entry "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86" (the one directly below the Windows version):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201linuxsoft.html
The size of the file^^ is 668,734,007 bytes.
Or should i have downloaded entry "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.2) for z/Linux":
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10202zlinuxsoft.html
The size of the file^^ is 838,518,746 bytes.
By the way, all these versions on the main page should have some kind of description, something like "This is the Linux Version for most standard 32Bit single and multiprocessor Intel compatible servers."
Well, since I'm completely stuck now with SUSE 10.1, is there any way to make the Oracle installer go on that SUSE version? Maybe SUSE can pretend to be version 9... but how do I achieve something freaky as this?
Thanks for any help, comments, suggestions...

BTW, I think it's bad practice by Oracle not supporting SUSE 10.1.Actually, I think it is good practise for Oracle not to certify the public beta versions of an operating system.
Please remember that Fedora and SuSE Linux are cycled every 6-8 months, making then truly unstable for commercial purposes. IN addition, they are often desupported by the comminuty within 2-3 years, forcing upgrades. And finally, Both Red Hat and SuSE/Novell publically state that these are 'proving grounds for new features' (meaning they are beta).
Certification means that Oracle will invest heavily and train people on the specific operating system and work with the operating system supplier, 24x7 if needed, to make sure that customers will continue in production. I am not aware that the SuSE Linux or Fedora supporters are willing to put in 24x7 support they way the Red Hat and SuSE Enterprise groups are.
This does not imply the public OSs are bad. It just means that Oracle (and I) believe they are unsuited for commercial, business mission critical, immediate support required, environments.
By the way, I have the combination of Oracle10g and SuSE Linux 10.1 working, and it works well. However, I did need to make sure that the libraries to which Oracle10g was compiled are available in the OS.
Or maybe Sybase does better.... ;-pNot if the [glibc] libraries are incompatible. Nor does PostgreSQL nor MySQL.
