PROBLEMS WHEN INSTALLING ORACLE9i

Question

When installing Oracle 9i release 2 on HP-UX the installation goes on well. But when I reach 84% of the linking process, I get the error:
“Error in invoking target of the install makefile
$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/bin/ins_sqlplus.mk”
The same error occurs with the makefile “ins_rdbms.mk”
I ignored both errors.
Later when running the Net configuration assistant, it hanged with error:
“Error in loading native library lbnjni9.so”I aborted the net configuration process then when the database configuration assistant started, it hanged with the same error as the net configuration assistant.
I looked for the library “lbnjni9.so” but didn’t find it at all and solutions from other sources indicate that the initial errors may be due to insufficient swap space, I have 800MB of swap space.

I had some similar problem with some of the make files, but not exactly the one's you are having trouble with. Anyway, try this article posted in OTN. http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tutorials/idclinux/Oracle9iR2onredhat9.html
I was able to follow most of it and get past the make file issues.
Note: when you get to step 5:
"$ gcc -o ctxhx -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ ...."
You'd be better off replacing all the instance of "/opt/ora9/product/9.2" with "$ORACLE_HOME", assuming that you have already defined your $ORACLE_HOME environment variable.
Now I need to find help on the Database Create Assistant problem I'm having.
Good luck!
