Problem installing Oracle 8.05 on Redhat Linux 7.1

I am currently trying to install Oracle 8.05 onto Redhat Linux 7.1. I can get part of the way through
the installation, however, when it is installing the rdbms portion. I stops with an error about a failure
during relinking. Here is the part of make.log which details what really happened. Could someone tell
me how to proceed.
Thank you,

Well ,I tried to install Oracle 8.0.5 in Debian Potato. At end I desist.
Oracle 8.0.5 works with glibc 5 and Debian Potato with glibc6 .
I guess this is your problem.
There are patches for this but i don't get
to make work.
Sorry for my english.

Problem installing Oracle 9.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0

Hi everyone,
As the subject line says, I tried installing Oracle 9.2 on
RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0, strictly following instructions
written by Werner Puschitz
(http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml). Both
attempts failed with identical symptoms:
- the installer asks for Disk 2
- after the disk is inserted, it hangs. It turns out that
kernel is writing messages similar to these in
/var/log/messages:
Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: 16:00: rw=0, want=317696, limit=149920
Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Unless interrupted, this continues until the /tmp filesystem gets full.
Has anyone experienced this? I haven't been able to find
an explanation so far.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Ljubomir Buturovic

Providing a thread-bare configuration of your machine on which you are trying to install Oracle on Linux (and mind you - which kernel/distro, coz that's important) would definitely help you elicit more responses to your messages.

h4. 11) History
h4. 12) References
h2. 1) Install Linux Ubuntu
The following assumes you have installed Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop Edition for AMD 64-bit, or upgraded from a previous version. Keep in mind that Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition is only available for 64-bit architecture. It is not necessarily a requirement, but I would not bother to install Oracle 11gR2 XE on a system with less than 2 GB of RAM installed. You can download Ubuntu for free at: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu and install it using the default settings provided.
You can apply the latest OS patch-sets by clicking the power button icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen and selecting "Updates available..."
h2. 2) Remote Terminal
You will need command line access to perform the installation tasks. Select the top "Dash Home" button of the Unity toolbar and enter the word "terminal", or use CTRL-ALT-t. If you prefer to open a remote terminal session use SSH. Ubuntu does not come with a secure shell login by default. To install it, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install openssh-serverYou cannot login as root unless you set a root password using the "sudo passwd root" command. However, you can get root user access using the "sudo" command, which requires only to re-enter the password of your personal account. Access to "sudo" is controlled by the /etc/sudoers file.
The best way to establish a remote command line session as root is to login with your personal account, e.g.: ssh [email protected], and then type "sudo su -" to become root, or use "sudo <command>" to execute individual commands. If your account does not have "sudo" access you can login as root using "su - root", but will need to know the root password.
h2. 3) Install Additional Software
Oracle 11g Express Edition requires additional software that is not installed by default:
sudo apt-get install alien libaio1 unixodbch2. 4) Managing Swap Space
Oracle demands that the minimum swap space for Oracle Database XE is 2 GB (2095100 KB) or twice the size of RAM, whichever is lesser. Enter the following shell command to verify your swap space:
cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap
SwapCached:            0 kB
SwapTotal:       2095100 kB
SwapFree:        2095100 kBYou can increase available swap space by using a swap file as long as disk space permits. The advantage of a swap file versus a swap partition is flexible space management because you can add or delete swap space on demand as necessary. The following will create and enable an additional 1 GB swap file at system startup, located in the /home directory:
Login as root:
sudo su -Enter the following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
mkswap /home/swapfile
swapon /home/swapfile
swapon -aCreate a backup of the original "fstab" file and add the new swap file:
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup_`date +%N`
echo '/home/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstabExit from root and verify the new swap space:
exit
swapon -s
Filename                    Type          Size     Used     Priority
/dev/sda5                               partition     2095100     0     -1
/home/swapfile                          file          1048572     0     -2Swap space is not a substitute for installed RAM. Swap space is a safeguard that allows the system to move idle processes to disk before the OOM killer will begin to terminate processes in order to free up enough real memory to keep the system operational. The general rule for sizing the swap space depends on the size of installed RAM. If your system has less then 4 GB of RAM the swap space should usually be at least twice this size. If you have more than 8 GB of RAM installed you may consider to use an equal size as swap space. The more RAM you have installed, the less likely you are going to run into memory starvation, and the less likely you are going to need swap space, unless you have a bad process.
h2. 5) Modify Kernel Parameters
Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition requires the following Kernel parameters. Enter the commands exactly as shown:
Login as root:
sudo su -Cut & paste the following directly into a command shell (not a text editor):
cat > /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf <<-EOF
# Oracle 11g XE kernel parameters
fs.file-max=6815744
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=9000 65500
kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
# kernel.shmmax=429496729
kernel.shmmax=107374183
EOFLoad and verify the new kernel parameters:
service procps start
sudo sysctl -q fs.file-max
sudo sysctl -q kernel.shmmax
sudo sysctl -q net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range
sudo sysctl -q kernel.sem The SHMMAX kernel parameter defines the upper memory limit of a process. It is a safeguard to stop a bad process from using all memory and causing RAM starvation. The Linux default is 32 MB. The official Oracle XE installation documentation suggests a value of 4 GB -1 bytes (429496729). Since Oracle 11g XE has a 1 GB memory limit, a smaller footprint will be a better safeguard for the complete system. Setting the SHMMAX parameter to 107374183 will be sufficient.
h2. 6) Oracle Home Directory
At the time of this writing, Enterprise Linux 6 is not supported for Oracle database yet. It is therefore not possible to confirm Oracle ext4 filesystem compatibility, which is default in Ubuntu 11. According to various information, ext4 may cause a performance problem for Oracle 11g database. The following will show you how to add a ext3 partition to your existing setup.
h3. 6.a) Resize the Root Partition
Provided you have sufficient free disk space, you should be able to resize the root partition to create an extra ext3 filesystem. Considering the 11 GB user datafile limit of the Express Edition, 18 GB should be more than enough.
You can use the free Gparted Live CD to shrink your startup volume. Gparted downloads are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable. When burning the CD, pay attention to burn the raw .iso image and not the possibly "mounted" image. If you are using a virtual machine like Oracle Virtualbox, you can mount the .iso image directly. There are going to be a few prompts when the system starts from the CD, but you can press Return to accept the defaults.
When the Gparted window appears:
- Select your ext4 root partition, usually /dev/sda1
- Select the "Resize/Move" button from the toolbar.
- Enter 18000 into the "Free space following" field and press the Return key.
Be careful not not change the start of the partition!
- Click the "Resize/Move" of the dialog and then then the "Apply" toolbar button.
The process may take several minutes - do not abandon it!
- Select the new unallocated free space of ~ 18 GB and push the "New" button.
- Set the file system to "ext3" and label it "oraclexe" and click the "Add" button.
Be sure to label it oraclexe, otherwise the follow-up instructions will fail.
- Finally select "Apply from the toolbar to apply the changes.
- Quit "Gparted", select "Exit" from the desktop and choose "Reboot" to restart the system.
{code}
After the system has restarted, open a terminal command shell.
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Backup "fstab" and add the UUID of the partition. The "tr" command remove the quotes:
{code}
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_`date +%N`
uuid=`blkid | grep oraclexe | awk '{print $3}'`
uuid=`echo $uuid | tr -d '\042'`
echo $uuid
echo "$uuid /u01 ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1" >> /etc/fstab
{code}
The UUID is a unique number and should look similar to:
{code}
UUID=d1db753e-b5dd-4a4c-a61e-259c69867b58
{code}
Restart the system:
{code}
reboot
{code}
Verify the success:
{code}
df -h /u01
{code}
h3. 6.b) Setup External Storage
If you prefer to setup an external drive to install Oracle XE, beware that it can be a fatal mistake to make an entry in /etc/fstab to automount your external storage device. An unavailable device in /etc/fstab will prevent a system startup and prompt for appropriate actions at the console.
The following is an example of how to prepare an external storage device to be used for Oracle 11g, including a script to automatically mount an external drive at system startup without the disadvantages of /etc/fstab. The script will also take into consideration that a device name might shift if you attach additional devices.
To find out which USB devices are connected:
{code}
sudo parted -l
{code}
Look for the device that matches your USB storage. For example: /dev/sdb1
{code}
Model: USB 2.0 Flash Disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 2064MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start   End     Size    File system Name     Flags
1      20.5kB 1929MB 1929MB hfs+         mystick
{code}
Initialize the device using ext3 filesystem - this will erase all data. The "-c" option will check for bad blocks (read-only), "-L" is the volume label:
{code}
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs.ext3 -c -L oraclexe /dev/sdb1
{code}
Install the pmount distribution package:
{code}
sudo apt-get install pmount
{code}
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Cut & paste the following into the command prompt (not a text editor):
{code}
cat > /etc/init.d/oracle-mount <<-EOF
#! /bin/sh

       echo "Error unmounting \$VOL_DEVICE"
    else
       rm -f \$VOL_SYMLINK

h2. 7) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
Oracle 11gR2 XE under Ubuntu 11.10 will result in "ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not support on this system" either at Oracle database startup or during the initial installation. Ubuntu 11.10 uses a new version of the "systemd" system and session manager and has migrated away from /dev/shm and other common directories in favor of /run.
There are several ways how to address the problem. You can either enable /dev/shm shared memory, or change the default memory management of Oracle 11g from AMM (Automatic Memory Management) to ASMM (Automatic Shared Memory Management) as it was in used the previous 10g version. Since AMM is one of the new features of 11g, the following will show you how to make to make AMM work.

h2. 8) Installing Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition
The final release version of Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition can be downloaded for free at http://otn.oracle.com/database/express-edition/downloads. The software should automatically downloaded into the "Downloads" folder of your home directory.
Enter the following commands to unpack the installer:
{code}
cd ~/Downloads
unzip oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
{code}
The Debian Linux based package management of Ubuntu is not compatible with the Red Hat package manager. The Oracle installer needs to be converted using the following commands:
{code}
cd ~/Downloads/Disk1
sudo alien --to-deb --scripts oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
(This may take a few minutes)
rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
{code}
The following needs to be set for compatibility:
{code}
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
sudo mkdir /var/lock/subsys
{code}
Ubuntu uses different tools to manage services and system startup scripts. The "chkconfig" tool required by the Oracle installer is not available in Ubuntu. The following will create a file to simulate the "chkconfig" tool.
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Copy & paste the following *directly* into the command prompt to create a file:
{code}
cat > /sbin/chkconfig <<-EOF
#!/bin/bash
# Oracle 11gR2 XE installer chkconfig hack for Debian based Linux (by dude)
# Only run once.
echo "Simulating /sbin/chkconfig..."
if [[ ! \`tail -n1 /etc/init.d/oracle-xe | grep INIT\` ]]; then
cat >> /etc/init.d/oracle-xe <<-EOM

h2. 9) Post-Installation
In order to use sqlplus and other tools, the Oracle account requires specific environment variables. The following will set these variables automatically at every Oracle login:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Copy the default account skeleton files and add the Oracle env script to .profile:
{code}
cp /etc/skel/.bash_logout ./
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ./
cp /etc/skel/.profile ./
echo "" >>./.profile
echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
{code}
By default, the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface is only available at the local server, but not remotely. The following will enable remote logins:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and execute the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);
exit
{code}
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/admin.112/e18585/toc.htm for more information.
h3. a) Unity desktop configurations
The Oracle XE menu under the previous Gnome Classic desktop shows several useful scripts to backup the database, start and stop the database, etc. Under the Unity based desktop this menu is not available. You can either switch to the Gnome Classic desktop as outlined in chapter 2, or perform the following steps to modify and copy the scripts as outlined below. The start and stop database scripts will also be modified to perform a progress feedback.
Login as user root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Convert desktop files:
{code}
cd /usr/share/applications
sed -i 's/Categories.*/Categories=Database;Office;Development;/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/MultipleArgs/X-MultipleArgs/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/MimeType.*/MimeType=application\/x-database/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/.png//g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-startdb.desktop
sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-stopdb.desktop
{code}
Exit root:
{code}
exit
{code}
Login as user Oracle:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Modify database start and stop scripts:
{code}
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/scripts
cp startdb.sh start.sh_orig
cp stopdb.sh stopdb.sh_orig
sed -i 's/>.*//g' startdb.sh
sed -i 's/>.*//g' stopdb.sh
{code}
You will need SYSDBA privileges and set Oracle environment variables in order to use your regular user account.
Login to your regular user account:
{code}
su - dude
{code}
Enter the folowing command:
{code}
sudo usermod -a -G dba dude
{code}
Then update your profile to automatically set the necessary Oracle environment variables:
{code}
echo "" >>./.profile
echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
{code}
Update your Desktop folder to contain useful Oracle XE scripts:
{code}
cp /usr/share/applications/oraclexe* ~/Desktop
chmod 750 ~/Desktop/oraclexe*
{code}
To verify success re-login and try "sqlplus":
{code}
su - oracle
sqlplus / as sysdba
{code}
h2. 10) Tips and Troubleshooting
h3. 10. a) Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application
Error: Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application. Specify a different port.This error happens after a previously unsuccessful configuration attempt using /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure script. The script was able to start the Listener process, but most likely failed to continue to clone the database, e.g. ORA-00845. The following should correct the problem:
Determine the oracle listener process that is already running:
{code}
$ ps -ef | grep oracle
{code}
Your output should be similar to:
{code}
oracle   19789     1 0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/tnslsnr
{code}
Then kill the process, using the appropriate process id, for instance:
{code}
$ sudo kill -9 19789
{code}
h3. 10.b) cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directory
Starting Oracle Net Listener...touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directoryThis error occurs when you run /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure, but failed the preinstallation step to create the /var//lock/subsys directory as outlined in chapter 8.
h3. 10.c) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system See chapter 7 to enable /dev/shm and verify free space available in /run/shm
h3. 10.d) Apex ADMIN password
According to the Oracle documentation, the password for the INTERNAL and ADMIN Oracle Application Express user accounts is initially the same as the SYS and SYSTEM administrative user accounts. Well, I tried several times without success. To reset the Apex Admin password:
Login as user oracle:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
{code}
At the SQL prompt, type the following to be prompted to change the password:
{code}
SQL> @?/apex/apxxepwd.sql
exit
{code}
When done, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
Workspace: Internal
Username: ADMIN
Password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
I will prompt you to reset the password:
old password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
new password: final_password
You can also login as the Apex Admin using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_admin
h3. 10.e) SYS and SYSTEM password
Use the following commands to reset the SYS and SYSTEM passwords if necessary:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following at the SQL prompt:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user sys identified by "password" account unlock;
SQL> alter user system identified by "password" account unlock;
SQL> exit
{code}
h3. 10.f) Uninstall Oracle 11g XE
The following will completely uninstall and remove Oracle 11g XE:
Open a terminal seesion and login as user root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Enter the following:
{code}
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
dpkg --purge oracle-xe
rm -r /u01/app
rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
update-rc.d -f oracle-xe remove
update-rc.d -f oracle-mount remove
update-rc.d -f oracle-shm remove
{code}
h3. 10.g) Reconfigure Oracle 11g XE
Type the following commands in a terminal window:
{code}
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
sudo rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
{code}
h3. 10.h) Gnome Classic desktop
Ubuntu 11 moved from the Gnome Classic desktop to Unity and removed the "Ubuntu Classic" login option. Unity was designed to make more efficient use of space given a limited screen size and touch screens. If you prefer to use the Gnome Classic desktop, enter the following into a terminal window:
{code}
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
{code}
To log into the Gnome Classic desktop, select the "Gearwheel" at the login screen and select "Gnome Classic".
h3. 10.i) Unix vi cursor keys
The instructions in this tutorial do not require the use of any text editor. However, if you would like use the backspace and cursor keys in the "vi-editor", the following needs to be installed:
{code}
sudo apt-get install vim
{code}
h3. 10.j) Backup Database
In order to perform an online database backup using the supplied "Backup Database" script, the database needs to run in Archive-Log mode. This can be setup using the following commands:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> shutdown immediate
SQL> startup mount
SQL> alter database archivelog;
SQL> alter database open;
SQL> exit
{code}
h2. 11) History

Excellent Blog. Thank You
Small clarification on Step **6) Oracle Home Directory, ...a) Resize the Root Partition**
Ubuntu 11.10 has Gparted available as a Ubuntu software download, DONT use that while trying the above step, instead download the ISO file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ gparted-live-0.12.0-5.iso (124.6 MB)
Burn that ISO file on a Blank DVD, reboot the Ubuntu , during startup select Boot from DVD Option if not already selected. this will take to Boot Menu Options of Gparted Live then select the first menu option, and this allows to do further action such as Re-sizing .
and once you have chosen and executed step a) . do NOT run step b) also that is "Setup External Storage"
I hope this minor clarification can avoid some confusion

Error message with install of Oracle 9.2 on Mandrake Linux 9.0

Hi,
I hope somebody can help with this. I'm getting an error message during the installation for oracle 9.2 on mandrake linux 9. An error get thrown saying the IP address of a host cannot be determined.

Hi johnny,
You should first check the hosts file to see if the correct hostname and the IP address are shown. You can also check if the "hostname" command returns the correct result. If everything looks good so far, then next check if command "nslookup" returns the correct IP address. If the nslookup <hostname> command returns error, you will need to talk to the Domain Name Server (DNS) administrator to correct this network configuration problem.

Install oracle 8.1.7 on linux 9.0

I want to install oracle 8.1.7 on linux 9.0,but where I run ./Disk1/runInstaller,show a error like 'symbol errno,version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 where link time reference (libzip.so)
Unable to initialize threads:cannot find class java/lang/Thread
Could not create Java VM'
use rpm ,I discover my glibc's version is:glibc-2.3.2-11.9
Who can help me?
thank you.

I have seen this before.
Quick Fix:
The problem with files still named xxxxxO is caused by the install. Sometimes it
works to just copy the file in this case:
$cp lsnrctlO lsnrctl
There are probably other files that were not renamed by the install:
Finally, the listener can run! yipee.. :)
It failed to run because there're some file 'missing'.
I told u before, lsnrctl didn't exist in my box. Well, I found that not only lnsrctl.
There're three more files needed to be renamed. So, total in the list are
dbsnmp, lsnrctl, tnslsnr, and oratclsh.
All of them still have their odd xxxxO name (I should have known it from
the start).
Once I copied all the file to their 'proper' name, the listener can start
successfully. (Though i think the listener need only lsnrctl and tnslsnr,
i still renamed them all).
But I wonder, why does the installer not rename those files?
I found that those file were created normally during installation, until
i run setup_stubs.sh.
Is there any bug on setup_stubs.sh? Why you didn't experience it as I did?
However, the most important things is, the database running well :)

Oracle 8.1.6 on Linux 7.0

I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.6 on Linux 7.0 on an intel machine with 256MB RAM and 512MB swap. I have religiously followed all the steps in the installation manual except changing kernel parameters and recompiling- I am not comfortable with making kernel changes and also for this test installation, I feel the default values may be sufficient.
The software is installing perfectly & at the time of database creation, it flashes an error during the initialisation phase that it is 'Not connected to Oracle'. I tried recreating the database but the same error keeps repeating.
any suggestions?

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.

Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux 7

Hi,
Is it possible to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux 7.0? I know it wasnt possible a while ago with 8.1.6.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Mike

Regarding to the solution from John Smiley
the problem has been fixed now.
I have received so many emails lately that I thought it would help to re-post this under a different topic to make it easier to find.
If you're having trouble with Oracle 8.1.x on any version of Linux that uses glibc version 2.2, try this and see if it solves your problem:
The problem is that Oracle 8.1.x needs glibc 2.1.3. It will link without error with glibc 2.2, but when you try to run dbassist or create a database from scratch, there are problems (dbassist hangs, "End of file on communication channel", etc.)
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
(Notice the use of the OFA standard? Do yourself and others a favor - follow the standard. If you don't know what OFA is, please see the Oracle Administrator's Guide for UNIX.)
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.
I have used this technique for RedHat 7.0 with the 2.2.16 kernel, as well as the 2.4.0 and 2.4.1-pre11 kernels.
Thanks to Richard Rankin for this simple and reliable method (there are others, but they are not as clean).

Does this problem occurs during installation when the DBASSIST is creating a DB for you?
If so, just cancel it for the moment, let the installation process proceed with the Net8 configuration where it will startup the Oracle listener. Then after, click on the DB creation and restart the DB creation process. I account this b4.
Hope this helps.

From the above guide:
Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and change the following line (people have sent me emails pointing out that this also works for Mandrake 8.1 and Mandrake 8.2):
LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
to read:
LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
Then run the script $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh as the user "oracle" and not as the user "root". Also make sure you have all the Oracle environments set! (I got so many emails because people were not doing this)
$ su - oracle
$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh
Created /opt/oracle/product/9.0.1/lib/libclntst9.a
$

Oracle 8.1.7 on linux. plslq block not compiled

I created table test
create test (a varchar2(100),b varchar2(100));
I send query:
delete from test
where (a, b) in (('Z','V'),('X', 'C'),('S', 'P'),('D', 'Y'));
All ok;
I send pl/sql block:
begin
delete from test
where (a, b) in (('Z','V'),('X','C'),('S', 'P'),('D', 'Y'));
end;
Server proccess associated with my session using 100% of CPU and 10 min later
my client receive error ORA-04031:
begin
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 1024 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","begin
delete from test
w...","PL/SQL DIANA","PAR.C:parchk:page")
When I send:
begin
delete from test
where (a, b) in (('Z','V'),('X','C'),('S', 'P'));
end;
all ok
What is the reason?
null

I think that the problem is not in size of shared_pool. I changed this parameters but it is not help me. I tested this pl/sql block on such computer with such parameters of kernel and oracle but version of oracle was 8.1.6 - all ok.
I solved this problem by using another pl/sql block:
begin
delete from test
where (a, b) in (('Z','V'),('X','C'),('S', 'P'));
delete from test
where (a, b) in (('D', 'Y'));
end;
And that is why I have a question: Is it Oracle(8.1.7 on Linux) bag or not?
