Oracle 9i RBDS on GNU/Debian

Alright people
I am planning on installing Oracle 9i on GNU/Debian.
Just wondering if there is anything that I need to do in order to have a successful install.
For example: I know there are some issue related to using; mainly related to the licenses of Java. Which distribution of Java is known to work with GNU/Debian and Oracle 9i, for example Sun's distribution of Java, or the Blackdown port of Java.
Any information provided will be received most gratefully.
Thanks in advance
Harish

Sorry to butt in like this.
But I'd be more interested in how you actually got the installer to run.
No matter what I do it seg faults after initializing the jvm.
I've installed both a jre and jdk in /usr/local/jre and /usr/local/java respectively, which made no difference.
Following other peoples problems I've set all the env variables correctly, and unset some.
I'm running debian woody, with no xserver at all, I'm using a remote X desktop (KDE2, mandrake 8.1)
Thanks

Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 2.2 (potato)

Hello (again),
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 2.2r2 (kernel 2.2.19 and glibc 2.1.3) but runInstaller dies with SIGSEGV. On the same machine I have already successfully installed Oracle 8.1.6.
I installed Blackdown JDK 1.1.8 but it does not seems to make any diference. No matter what JDK I install and put in my PATH the runInstaller dies with SIGSEGV.
Also tried to "unset LANG", no goog either. LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5, also does not work.
Anyone knows how I can install Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 2.2r2?
The full error message follows:

Can't install Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0 (woody)

Hello,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0 (kernel 2.4.19 and glibc 2.2.5) but the runInstaller program does not start.
It displays the msg "Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait..." and nothing more happens.
I found lots of posts on this forum regarding installing Oracle, but none of the workarounds for Debian seems to work.
I'm using Blackdown's JDK 1.1.8, but even with it the runInstaller does not start (it's installed in /usr/local/java, as Oracle expects).
I tried "unset LANG", but it didn't work. Also tried "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5", nothing either.
It's not possible to use Debian 2.2, I must install Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0. Also I successfully installed Oracle 9.0.1 on the same machine I'm trying to instal Oracle 8.1.7.
Has anyone successfully installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0? What should I do install it?

I had to install the newest 118 JRE from IBM and change:

Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 2.1

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install ORA8i(8.1.7) on my Debian Linux 2.1 with
kernel 2.4.12 (realy fresh !) and libc 2.2.4 (due to my XFree86
4.1) and I'm having lot of problems....
I had to update libs in my system due to new version of Gnome
and Xfree ..
Oracle 8.1.7.01 was compile using libc6 2.1.3 and Oracle
recomends apply a glibc_2.1.3_stub to fix problems related to
compiled programs linking....
But, I'm having problems while the linking phase. Even if I
apply that "patch", OUI cannot run some makefiles and cannot
link some bin and libs... I've tried to run manually, change
those make files (precomp, ins_*.mk), etc, but I got no sucess...
I really apreciate any help from somebody who have had a similar
problem during the linking phase of the install process to
Oracle 8.1.7 ...
Thanks in advance
Jorge Mamoru

Linking error, Oracle 9.2.0.1 debian sid

Hi
During installation of Oracle 9.2.0.1 on debian sid I get the following error:
Error in invoking target ioracle of makefile /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk
The make.log file reveals the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/lib/oracle: hidden symbol `__fixunssfdi' in usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.2.3/libgcc.a(_fixunssfdi.oS) is referenced by DSO
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/lib/oracle] Error 1
Do I need to modify the makefile or is it a glibc problem?
I've searched around for a solution to no avail. Any help is appreciated!
Regards
Lars Kristensen

Hi,
Oracle required gcc295 for Linux Oracle to link correctly. We put the gcc295 at /opt/gcc295 and the put it first in the path for the Oracle userid. This work very well. Also there was a note the said to look in the files (gen/make files) and change any hard coded reference to a specific gcc location to just gcc. I looked and did not find any hard coded specific gcc. Hope this helps

Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0 install fix

I was getting segfaults rebuildling the client shared library and after
copious use of programming wizardy (i.e., "echo got here...") in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh script I found out that the problem was
the line:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH
After moving the "export PATH" command to a separate line, no more seg faults. I'm not sure if this was particular to the version of bash that comes iwth Debian 3.0 or not, but who knows..Now I'm off to try actaully creating the database.

the line:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH
After moving the "export PATH" command to a separate line, this is one of some typo that comes with docu. You slolved it correctly.

Oracle XE download on Debian

Hi everyone,
I have Oracle XE installed on a Debian machnine. Since a few days apt and dselect complain about the GPG key that the Oracle Debian repository has. Is there any way to import a key so the GPG key is accepted?
Thanks,
Wouter van Reeven

Thanks for the info guys.
@Kerad555: GPG keys are managed by the Debian package repository owner. This means that Oracle should provide a public key to allow me to authenticate the GPG key they installed in the XE repository.
@Priyanka: The article you refer to tells how to get hold of Debian specific public keys or how to allow apt to install unauthenticated packages. however, if Oracle decides to sign their packages with a GPG key, they should provide a public key to authenticate that GPG key.
So, where can I get the public key?
Thanks, Wouter

Oracle 9i Install problem

Hi
I am installing (via vmware) Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on debian (kernel 2.4.18) the install went fine except for a few hitches which i fixed after a quick google search. However after the install the install window closed during the setup of services.

I have searched the net for the answer to this problem but I can't find an answer that works.
I've tried unsetting the following:
LANG
LC_LANG
LC_CTYPE
RC_TYPE
With no luck. I have tried pointing oracle to use my jre instead of theirs by altering the oraparam.ini file, no effect. I have taken my jre in and out of the path, no effect.
The only thing I can think of is that I don't have enough memory available - i only have 384mb available via vmware for this install. I need to figure out if it is this or something else, I can't just blame it on the lack of memory if it is not the case.
I look forward to your comments.

Zarmia
The best thing I advise you to do when installing Oracle 9i onto GNU/Debian is to carry a search on the OTN newsgroups for the keyword 'Debain'. I found that there were quite a few previous posts which explain in considerable detail the processes which should be followed when installing Oracle 9i onto Debain. Failing that, if you carry out a Google search for "Oracle 9i on Debian", you will there quite a few web pages which provide information of installing Oracle 9i onto Debian.
Hope this helps

The best thing I advise you to do when installing Oracle 9i onto GNU/Debian is to carry a search on the OTN newsgroups for the keyword 'Debain'. I found that there were quite a few previous posts which explain in considerable detail the processes which should be followed when installing Oracle 9i onto Debain. Failing that, if you carry out a Google search for "Oracle 9i on Debian", you will there quite a few web pages which provide information of installing Oracle 9i onto Debian.
Hope this helps

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,

/etc/init.d/oracle-xe not found

Hi,
I installed oracle-xe-universal 10g on debian 4 after that manually deistalled
see:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#CIHDDHJD
then I installed xe again.
My second installation was ok. But I didn't find /etc/init.d/oracle-xe for configuration (First installation worked fine, init.d/oracle-xe existed). 2nd installation didn't display oracle-xe icons in applications menu at Gnome too.
If I try reinstall this in Gnome /etc/init.d/oracle-xe will be contained in package installer/includes files - but not relly.
Could you help me please.

Yes dpkg has a purge flag.
dpkg --purge packagename will remove the entire package + support/config files for it.
Use carefully.

Debian java error in netca and dbca but succesful install in a vm ?!?!

I succesfully installed Oracle 11gR2 32bit on Debian 5.02 32bit in a virtual machine and created a database and a listener, everything works as expected. Now i tried the same installation on a hosted "real" machine with, as far i can see, the same minimalistic Debian 5.02 32bit installation as my virtual machine. The installation went fine on the "real" machine but if i try to start netca or dbca there is a java error:
An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
+#+
+# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xa2bbd36e, pid=19555, tid=3085252272+
+#+
+# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (1.5.0_17-b02 mixed mode)+
+# Problematic frame:+
+# C [libnnz11.so+0x3c36e]+
Has anyone any idea? I spent many hours in different forums, but i found no answer yet. What coulkd be the difference between these machines? What this error means?
I know, Debian ist not officially supported, but in my experience, if some prerequisites are made, Oracle normally works fine with Debian ....

1. Please find out if there is any business reason that the 64-bit hardware is only running a
32-bit OS. If not, then Oracle recommends that you re-install a 64-bit OS and 64-bit Oracle to
avoid published Bug 8930861, “X86 DBCA, NETCA GIVE JAVA HOTSPOT ERROR IF ON X86_64 HARDWARE”
2. If there is some business reason that you must use 64-bit hardware running a
32-bit Linux OS, then before you can use the 11gR2 DBCA or NETCA tools, you will need to apply patch 8670579 , “NETCA/DBCA FAILED WITH HOTSPOT VIRTUAL MACHINE”. You will be downloading and using file p8670579_112010_LINUX.zip

Pre-built Oracle Solaris 11 VM - Invalid md4 checksum for part04

Hi,
Following the instructions and links available at:
Pre-built Oracle Solaris 11 Express Developer Virtual Machine with Oracle Solaris Studio and GNU development tools
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-dev/vms11expstudio-howto-401051.html
I downloaded all 4 parts for this VM and the md5 checksums for the first three are fine, however part04 is invalid. I downloaded the part04 file twice with the same results. Judging from the small filesize (only 70MB) it appears to be truncated.
Can someone investigate this part04 file and verify?

I have encountered the same problem.
My workaround was to download the full larger file using a download manager.
I used DownThemAll for Firefox.

I installed Oracle 8.1.6 on Debian "Potato" and wondered why the database won't start up after rebooting. The dbstart script was called and it gave the message that the database was started. But when I wanted to make a connection I always got the message ORA-01034: ORACLE not available.
ps ax showed me that no ora_* tasks were started. Finally I solved the problem. The $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart script searches for the version of Oracle with an awk request. This request is wrong for the Linux version. It checks for $ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl and then makes an awk request. The correct request is:
awk '
/Edition (Release|Version)/ { print substr($5,3,1) }'
