Oracle 8.1.7 Install on RedHat 6.2

hey all, i've having some trouble with an Oracle 8.1.7 install on a vanilla rh6.2 server. The rh server has all the latest rpm upgrades installed as recommended by RedHat. When i run the installer script, i get this error message:
SIGFPE received at bfffef9c in /usr/oracle/data/Disk1/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/lib/linux/nat
ive_threads/libawt.so. Processing terminated
any idea what the heck this is caused by? I haven't tried a 8.1.6 install on this box yet, might give that a shot just to see if it works. thanks for any help or pointers.

Hello,
i have a question about your updates: you run a system with glibc 2.2? -> forget it!
i try to install 8.1.7 on RH7 and i get the same error-message, i downgrade to RH6.2 (orginal, without updates) and its work!
Have alook to the topics with RH7 problems or use RH6.2 without updates(glibc)

Help ! Oracle 8.1.6 Install on Redhat 6.2

I have read thru most of the previous posts and it sounds as if a few people have been successful with the 8.1.6 install on RH6.2.
I am trying to install 8.1.6 EE on a unmodified RH6.2 machine. I keep getting link errors during the install.
I believe my .bash_profile has been setup correctly and I followed the install doc but no success as of yet.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks

Here is a sample of my .bash_profile. I set my system up in a slightly different way than most people but you can easily modify it for you system.
I put variables specific to certain applications is separate files that I include into my .bash_profile if you look at the second line you will see that I call a Oracle.config file this is where those variables are set.
# .bash_profile
. /profileinc/Java.conf
. /profileinc/Oracle.conf
. /profileinc/Path.conf
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
USERNAME="oracle"
export USERNAME ENV
mesg n
And here is the Oracle.config file that I call. You can put these at the top of your .bash_profile and it will work, just remember to export the variables in your .bash_profile.
# Oracle Config
oracle_home=/usr/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/oracle
ORACLE_SID=Config
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};
TMP=$oracle_home/tmp
TMP_DIR=$oracle_home/tmp
TMPDIR=$oracle_home/tmp
export oracle_home ORACLE_HOME TMP TMP_DIR TMPDIR LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Oracle 8.1.6 Installation on RedHat 6.2

I was sitting here now for 1 day and now got Oracle 8.1.6 installed on RedHat 6.2. First I downloaded it from the Oracle-Ftp-Server and wanted to run the "runInstaller". That didn't work because of bin/jre not found. In the version 8.1.5 I had an extra script called install/linux/runIns.sh. But that was not available in the downloaded version 8.1.6.
So I wrote one on my own (just copy this script and save it under install/linux/runIns.sh):
/usr/local/jre/bin/jre -ss4m -oss4m -ms32m -mx64m -Doracle.installer.nlsEnabled=TRUE -Doracle.installer.startup_location=. -Doracle.installer.library_loc=../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/bin/linux -cp ../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/swingaccess.jar:../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/InstImages.jar :../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/xmlparser.jar:../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/OraInstaller.ja r:../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/ewt.jar:../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/help.jar:../../stage /Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/InstHelp.jar:../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/oracleice.jar:../../stage/Co mponents/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.0.18.0A/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lib/OraInstaller.jar:/tmp/orainstall: -nojit oracle.sysman.oii.oiic.OiicInstaller -scratchPath /tmp/orainstall -sourceLoc "../../stage/products.jar" -sourceType network $1 $2 $3
Then you just go to directory install/linux and run "./runIns.sh"
With this script and jre 1.1.8_V1 (Blackdown) with link to /usr/local/jre it worked properly.
Hope, that helps.

All the GUI tools work just ONCE for me...After that i need to reboot the system for another GUI tool to work.
PS: I get the same messages as you.

Unable to install Oracle 9.0.1 on Linux RedHat

Hi,
I am unable to install Oracle 9.0.1 on Linux RedHat, tried many times. While installing i get following errors-
"Error in invoking target install of makefile
/usr/oracle/9.0.1/plsql/lib/ins-plsql.mk"
"error in invoking target ioracle of makefile
/usr/oracle/9.0.1/rdbms/lib/ins-rdbms.mk"
"Error loading native library : libnjni.so"
Installation halts while configuring Net Confugration Assistant....
Any workaround ???
Thanks in advance.

There are many versions of RedHat. Your post indicates you are using one of them, but your post really does not give a hint as to which one. Funny thing is - different versions have different install requirements.
I really don't understand why operating system version is such a big secret. Especially since it is logically so critical to installation issue. Even when installing on Windows, the first questions is 'which Windows'.
You have, of course, followed the suggestions at http://www.puschitz.com and noted the errors and workarounds, have you not.
Especially about things like packages and versions.

The problem of installing oracle database 9.2.0 on Redhat 7.2

Hi, there,
I meet an error when I want to run runInstaller to install oracle database 9.2.0 on Redhat 7.2 at the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant step:
ORA-03113:end-of-file on communication channel.
the installer report every other things are installed successfully except Database Configuration Assistant. but after I try to connect to database using sqlplus:
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
after a very long responding time, there is an interior error. I don't know how to fix it. do I need reinstall the oracle or mannully configure the database? how to do that? my machine is P2 266 with 128M memory. the harddisk is 30GB. I don't know if this problem is caused by memory limitation?
besides, who knows any other forums or website about oracle database installed on linux? I found there is very limit resource about this content on oarcle website.
any hint will be great appreciated!

It could be because of the memory. Oracle 9.x requires 512 MB minimum on Linux. Also the only Red Hat Oracle is now supporting is Advanced Server. But there are workarounds.
There is an excellent web site for installing Oracle on Linux, but it has been down for the last week or two. But try it maybe next week:

Install linux redhat for oracle 10g2

Hi Friends,
I will install linux redhat linux 5 for oracle 10g 2. How to created correct partition of linux to match oracle 10g 2.
I install linux as server style. any advice?
Thanks
JIm

Hi JIm
It is true that for us DBA the OFA is the standard by excellence. You have also the quite good document on that gives you also a lot of examples.
http://www.ss64.com/orasyntax/ofa.html
What is a style server? Do you mean as a template server?
Please note also that if you need to do more than 1 installation you can clone your binaries from your first installation. Ideally you should patch it to he latest release and then make your clone.
1. tar your current binaries under /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
2. copy the tar file on the target server under /export/home/oracle and then untar it.
3. cd to new_oracle_home/oui
4. ./runInstaller -clone -silent ORACLE_HOME="<new_oracle_home>" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="<unique_home_name>"
read more on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15660/app_cloning.htm
You can also clone your database to other targets
1 Duplicate from source to your targets
1.1 Perform a database backup including archive log
1.2 Create an Oracle password file for the auxiliary instance
1.3 Establish Oracle Net connectivity to the auxiliary instance
1.4 Create an initialization parameter file for the auxiliary instance
1.5 Start the auxiliary instance in NOMOUNT mode
1.6 Mount or open the target database
1.7 Ensure that backups and archived redo log files are available
1.8 Allocate auxiliary channels if needed
1.9 Execute the DUPLICATE script
Hope this will help you to get the templates installed.
Cheers
Hubert

Set up Oracle 8.1.7 Client on Redhat 7.3

First of all, I want to thank the people who gave out the hints of downgrading Redhat from 7.x to 6.x.
The problem I had was run into by many people on this forum: the Oracle Universal Installer window just doesn't pop up.
In my case, I took out most of the packages manually in order to have a slim and healthy Linux platform. The Redhat 7.3 installation I have takes less than 250M. There are a X server, fvwm2 desktop, netscape 4, netscape 6, wu-ftp server, sshd, telnetd, gcc, make, autofs, and so on.
My purpose is to run Apache with Tomcat, using an OCI JDBC driver and an Oracle Client, to talk to an Oracle server at the back end. The Oracle 8.1.7 for Linux was downloaded from the OTN site and untarred to the hard drive. The strange thing I saw was, the 'runInstaller' doesn't get me the OUI window but consumed 99% of the CPU.
After a few hours of struggling and research, this is I believe what makes it work:
1. As oracle user using 'bash' shell. Not 'sh'. Put all the needed enviornment variables into '.bash_profile' file, not the '.profile'. Redhat uses 'bash' as default shell. 'sh' in Redhat doesn't seem to behave as perfectly as in other Unix flavors, like Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and so on.
2. Make sure (or install manually) these RPMs:
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
compat-libs-6.2-3
compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.16
compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16
I doubt the last one is even not necessary.
3. Put
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
in '.bash_profile'. Either make a new xterm or echo to make sure the value of $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is '2.2.5'
And that's it! That's all it takes to get the Installer show up and work so nicely.
The reasons behind are: at the time the Oracle 8i rolling out, it's based on Linux kernel 2.2.5, not the 2.4.x in the Redhat 7.3 or SuSe 8.0. The 8i just doesn't run on Redhat 7.3 or SuSe 8.0 by nature, unless there is a backward compatibility smoothly working in between.
Oracle 8.1.7 comes with it's own JRE. On the Linux version of 8.1.7, I don't see a choice exist for the user to toggle between the packaged JRE and the JREs on the OS. In aother word, a backward compatibility (kernel downgrading) is needed to get the whole thing moving. There are no other choices. This JRE thing distracts people from looking for the real issue.
By the way, I did forget about Linux uses its own JDKs and JREs. But now I have jdk1.1.8 from ibm, 1.2.2 from blackdown, 1.3.1 from ... and so on. All these different versions of Java tools and environments are basicly for running some fancy features once 8i gets installed. Their lack doesn't stop 8i Installer from running so perfectly.
There is NOT a character mode for this 8.1.7 Installer.
As to now, I configured 'Net8' and was able to use 'sqlplus' to pull over data from a live server at work.
Thanks again to those who share their experiences and knowledge. Also hope this message will save others a couple of hours of hard trying. :-)

something. the installation i got is from the internet so its in
gzipped/tar format. when i unzipped it it looked fine. i've
really given up installing oracle 8 on my linux machine. until i
saw ur message here. what could be causing this problem? i even
try to upgrade my kernel from 2.0.34 to 2.2 and still its not

Oracle 8.0.5.1 on Redhat 7.2

I installed Oracle 8.0.5.1 on RedHat 7.2. To make it work I forced the installation of compat-glibc 5.2, compat-libs 5.2, and compat-egcs 5.2. So far everything is working normally. I tried to recompile these packages, but with no success. What would be be the worst thing that could happen to my system with this kind of an installation ?
Is there a proper way to install Oracle 8.0.5.1 on RedHat 7.2 ?

Do you think running an upgrade from RH5.1 to RH6.0 will require
any modifications to the existing Oracle installation?
