Problem Installing Oracle8i on Linux

Hello..
When i try to install Oracle 8i in my RedHat Linux 6.1 , i am getting an error
Error in CreateOUIProcess():-1
: Bad Address.
at the start itself..
Any one knows what is problem??
null

This is a known problem.
Firstly, make sure that you're running the right version of the JVM. I
don't know what Oracle do with their software, but it's very dependent
on the version you use.
Secondly, it might help if, instead of running runInstaller from the
root of the CD, you move into install/linux and run the runInst.sh
shell script instead.
This problem seems more common on RedHat 6.1 than 6.0 and could be
something to do with a newer C library.
I've also heard reports that if you have the wrong version of Gnome
you might get this problem. Upgrade or switch to another environment
such as KDE or Fvwm2.
Hope this help you!

Problems installing Oracle8i on Win XP

Hi,
Anyone knows what to check for problems installing Oracle8i on WindowsXP?
I would appreciate getting a check list so that I or anyone reading the list can understand clearly run through all the steps required in sourcing the problem.
I am writing for a friend so I can't actually state what he is experiencing; only that the WinXP may have been an upgrade installation and not a clean installation. Could that cause problems. The Oracle8i installed and worked fine on the previous system.
I Would really appreciate hel asap. Thanks in advance.
Linda

Lida,
first of all verify the version of Oracle is certified with the version of the Operating System.
then do the following steps to install :
Start the Installer and Install the Oracle Software:
-Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive
-If autorun is configured, the installer will start automatically
-To manually start the installer, double-click on cd:\setup.exe
-From the welcome screen, select NEXT
-From the File Location screen, select NEXT
-Select "Enterprise Edition" for the Install Category.
-Select Typical to install the software, create a database and start
the database (Other selections are available for minimal or custom installs).
-Follow on screen prompts
-The install will begin.
-When completed, the install will have created a default database,configured a listener, and started both for you.
-When the installer completes, you should have a working database running along with the listener.
-Should the installer fail, note the error given. Check nstallActions.log in the C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.
Oracle 8i does not have any installation problem with XP.
hope this will help you.

Help! problem installing oracle8i

Oracle8i server is installed on my pc (operate system: windows NT) without any warning.I can connect to database using this pc(scott/tiger@mycomputer). But an error occured when I try to connect to database using SQL*Plus (scott/tiger@test) on another pc,'test' being noted in TNSNAME.ORA .
Error Code is ORA-00000.
Who can help me? help!! help !!!

This is my work-around for RH 7. This John Smiley's step-by-step description which is posted elsewhere on this forum. It is better put than my original post:
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
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.

Problems installing Oracle8i Personal Edition

Please help i have windows Me and i just purchased and oracle tool kit for my course which i am takig in school. the cd that i have is Version 8.1.5 for windows 98 is there a win me version becuase it don't want to install on my PC
thanks

There4s no version of Personal 8i for Windows ME. However, you can install this version in your system. Before you do this, modify your WIN.INI file, in section [Compatibility95], adding : Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install. Hope that helps you. Good luck.

Problems installing Oracle8i v 8.1.6 on ICL Teamserver running Unixware

When trying to do the above I receive an error saying that runInstaller could not be found.When I edited the script, it appears that that it looks for one of three forms of Unix via /bin/uname.
when I type uname -a I receive the following
UNIX_SV oliver 4.2MP 2.01 i386 x86at
Am I right to say that the version of Unix (UNIX_SVR4 2.01) is not supported, or can I overcome this by modifying the install script ?

Problems installing on Corel Linux

The error on running the setup.exe was "jrew has caused an error in javai.dll. " A fix was reported on the internet for this , which is adding a line ": Jrew=0x00080000" to compatibility95 in the win.ini file. Appaarently this fix worked for few people, but it is making no difference for me.
Please provide a solution for this. email:[email protected]
