Oracle 9i (amd64 version) with Fedore Core 2 (FC2) x86_64

I just managed to get the above to install, and it seems to work. This post is here to tell what I had to do to get it to install. I installed it custimized to not include Enterprise options, Enterprise Manager and HTTP server. I also chose not to create a database with the install (did it later with dbca with no problems).
First of all, if you have a partial installation, make sure to remove it completely. This can always cause lots of problems.
There are two workarounds beyond the normal installation tasks. The first is to run:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 before runInstaller
Then proceed with the installation. When (if?) it fails, (it failed for me at 97%) it will be because of a link failure.
At this point, open another window and edit the $ORACLE_HOME/lib32/sysliblist and $ORACLE_HOME/lib32/ldflags and add the string '-static-libgcc' to the end of both lists.
The error you would find in the make.log if you chose to look would be: undefined reference to
`dl_iterate_phdr@GLIBC_2.2.4' or something close to it.
This system is a dual Athlon 64 running FC2 x64-64 bit release.
That's it.
Good luck.

The {font:Courier}gcc32{font} is a compiler version, not an architecture specification, so you need that version to compile and link properly. If you do this:
$ /bin/rpm -q --qf='%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' gccyou can see if you have a 64-bit capable compiler ({font:Courier}x86_64{font}) or 32-bit only (anything else).
The linking step will complain and fail if you try to mix 32-bit and 64-bit object files and libraries, so that probably worked well enough.
Of course, Oracle RDBMS is not supported under CENTOS so using this work business purposes is totally your risk.
Why not download Oracle Enterprise Linux and have everything just work?

    opmn is the Oracle Process Manager for the Application Server, which is included only on the companion disk of the SE and EE editions, not on the XE edition.
    Verify the browser settings, and verify listener is up and running.
    lsnrctl status
    you should see the 8080 and 2100 ports listed, which stands for the http server and ftp server.
    You should see also the XE instance listed in the instances list.
    Verify if there are any outstanding errors on the alertXE.log file. It has been reported that missing temporary files are the reason why it doesn't show the login page.
    Also, verify the XE instance is up and running, just enter in a sql prompt from the OS and verify with the command
    show sga
    and
    select status from v$instance;

  • Oracle  database for Fedora Core 7 (x86_64)

    I want to install Oracle database on Fedora core 7(x86_64). I tried with 10201_database_linux_x86_64.cpio.gz setup but it does not support Fedora core 7 platform. Please suggest me where to find the proper setup.
    Thanks in advance

    This trick, from a previous thread worked for me for Redhat 5. You might wanna use it for Fedora;
    Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
    Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini
    Add the name of your distribution on this line. It might work for you

  • How to build JDK1.5 with Fedora Core 3 on AMD64?

    All,
    Currently, I am going to do some research work related to the JDK1.5 so I have to rebuild it on the top of Fedora Core 3 on AMD64. But it failed with some "invalid section error messages in assembly language". I wonder that if there is any pepole who have successfully built it before? If yes, could you give me some instructions about the whole building process? Do you still need the GCC 3.2.2? How do you build the GCC 3.2.2? And are you working with the source code from SUN JAVA SCSL, also? In fact, I encountered some "invalied section error" when compiling the .cpp files into .o files.
    BTW: I have successfully built the JDK1.5 with FC3 on Inter 32 Bit, with GCC 3.2.2
    Thanks,
    Neo

    A little more detail, please. Excerpt from build log?

  • Javax.sound missing with Fedora Core 3 linux's java compiler?

    I'm running Fedora core 3, and I did a complete install(selected all the packeges). I have the java compiler that FC3 installed. I can compile most things, but I seem to be missing the sound package/folder.
    This leads to an error when I try to import the sound libraries.
    //start code
    //simple non-working example
    import javax.sound.*;
    class sounds
    //end code
    results in the error "The import javax.sound cannot be resolved"
    I am trying to run a code snippet from javaAlmanac, and of course it won't work. Today, a friend of mine had the exact same problem on a windows machine using JDK 1.5.
    I'm going to test this code out on a windows machine also.
    Are there issues with the FC3 java compiler?
    Has anyone else run into and solved this issue?
    I'm considering copying the sound folder from some other Java installation, anyone try this?
    Thanks,

    I'm pretty new at this myself. I've also installed Fedora Core 3 on an AMD 64. When I do the same uname - a I get:
    Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:50:10 EST 2004 x86_64 x8 6_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Maybe you didn't install as 64 bit ?
    I've also successfully installed Jave Runtime Environment. java -version gets me:
    java version "1.4.2_08"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_08-b03)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_08-b03, mixed mode)
    I'd suggest installing 32 bit. I can't tell the difference when I run programmes that use 64 or 32 bits - it will be just as good.

    hello,
    I have a problem with Oracle XE 10g and FC5.

    First when I set up Oracle XE with "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure" the system stop on "listener starting" during several minutes.

  • Install problems with Fedora Core 5

    I'm having problems getting XE running on FC5. I've tried various suggestions in this forum and elswhere, but found no complete description of what might be wrong. Hope somone can help.
    I've turned SELinux off, which made a big improvment, but things are still not right. The install seems to go correctly, with no error messages, but oracle has not started, nothing is running on port 8080.
    A complete transcript of an install and configure is listed below. Everything was done as root.
    Things of note:
    1. I've seen various descriptions that host name resolution is necessary. I'm running on a laptop using DHCP. Is having a resovled name in /etc/hosts really necessary, and if so how is this best done?
    2. Turning SELinux off seems drastic. Is there a solution with it running?
    3. Where do you look for logging information that might suggest what is going wrong?

  • Oracle 10g on Fedora Core 5

    Is there a pre-packaged version of Fedora Core 5 which includes Oracle 10g for Linux?
    This way, all you have to do is select Install Oracle 10g and it includes any special packages for installing Oracle 10g. Plus, after installation, it automatically starts up the Oracle 10g installer. It could even do the pre-installation stuff such as creating the oracle user. I do not know how, but this oracle user would be the only user using an old gcc compatible with Oracle software. Via its environment maybe?
    Right now, it is a Pain-in-the-neck to install Oracle on Linux. The installation guide Oracle provides is not enough. You have to do a search on the web for pages detailing more info. Or you have to install a special file or set variables to make the Oracle installer think it is installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I have to hide the gcc that comes with Linux and install an old verison of it. At one time, I even had to compile a library so the java installer could run. This is ridiculous, I should not have to jump through hurdles to install Oracle.
    Does anyone out there have such a set of Fedora Core 5 ISO images? Shoot, FC4 would do too.

    No. I'm not particular to Fedora. Fedora has been a distribution which works on my (please don't laugh) emachines computer at home. I've had Oracle 9i enterprise installed on fedora core 3.
    Ubuntu and Debian are good distros as well. I have not been successfull with Suse though.
    Suse in the past -- the installer could not get the graphics correct -- garbage just displays -- so i could never install it. Maybe SuSe 10 has improved since then.
    I found this about Suse and Oracle. So, this may work for me. Otherwise, i will try Centos.

  • Installation notes: JES 2005Q4 on Fedora Core 4

    Hi,
    Getting JES (with Portal Server 6) to work on a Linux platform (that's unsupported by SUN) can be a nightmare. Here's what to do with Fedora Core 4:
    1. You need to install compat-libstdc++-296.i386 rpm package. This provides /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 that the application server needs.
    If you don't have that package installed, install with yum:
    yum install compat-libstdc++-296.i386
    Note: I used...
    yum provides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
    ... to find out the package.
    Actually I installed compat-libstdc++-33.i386 as well, but I'm not sure did that affect anything.
    2. Install pdksh
    There are many ksh clones available. Fedora Core 4 ships with some version of ksh that lacks features used by PS6 install scripts. You have to get pdksh from http://www.math.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/
    Configure and install it according to the instructions. Then get rid of the ksh that came with FC4 and make sure /bin/ksh points to /usr/local/bin/ksh (if you installed pdksh to the default location).
    3. Run the JES installer and everything should work out fine. The installation process meter still seems to hang when installing portal server but actually it is working hard for several minutes. You can verify that by using top.
    More details on the problems that occur if you don't follow these steps (should help for other distros than FC4):
    The installation process hangs when it gets to install portal server (verify with top that it isn't actually doing anything). This is because you don't have the right ksh. Using ps -aef you'll see that there are processes running ksh.
    The actual problem is that the PS6 installation script is defining variables with the keyword 'local' that's not supported with ksh shipped with FC4. If you try to run the portal configuration script manually you get lines like:
    opt/sun/portal/lib/postinstall_Base[21]: local : not found [ no such file or directory]
    opt/sun/portal/lib/postinstall_Base[22]: local : not found [ no such file or directory]
    opt/sun/portal/lib/postinstall_Base[23]: local : not found [ no such file or directory]
    The JES installation program will not recover from this. So get pdksh!
    If you don't have libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 the installation seems to work fine, but it will fail on deploying anything on the appserver (it won't be able to start the domain). This was the really ridiculous thing about the installer because it reported no errors even though it was failing to install anything on the appserver!
    Hope this helps someone. Took me nearly two days to figure out.

    Instead of downloading the source code for Korn Shell and going thru the manual compilation and configuration go to http://rpm.pbone.net and perform an advanced search for ksh for Red Hat 9.
    You will find : pdksh-5.2.14-21.i386.rpm
    Here's the url for a mirror site:
    ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/os/i386/pdksh-5.2.14-21.i386.rpm
    Download the rpm.
    Remove the existing pdksh by :# rpm -e pdksh
    Install the ksh of choice: rpm -ivh pdksh-5.2.14-21.i386.rpm
    I was able to install JES 2005 Q4 on Fedora core 5.
    Good Luck
