| Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) Installation On Fedora Core 6 (FC6) - A brief guide to installing Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) on Fedora Core 6 (FC6). |
Andrew said... Tim,once again, thank you for your install guides. Just as a point of interest...I installed RDBMS 10.2 on Fedora Core 6 Beta 3 (version 5.92), but I did not need to swap the gennttab as was required for fedora 5. Swapping the file does not cause any harm, but is in this case not required. Funnily enough I can get the RDBMS running on FC6 and on RHEL5, but no on FC5, grrr! cheers, Andrew |
Ahmed Alhonti said... Hi,thank you for this wonderfull guide. I used it to install oracle 10g R2 on Fedora Core 6 Final version and it was very clear and helpful but there are 2 small notes I think it's because of the new Fedora version I use (it was released few days ago). First: the part about installing the RPMS from the Fedora DVD some of the packages version are diffrent. I used the new versions by changing the version number at the end of the package name to match the new version. Second: this part (During the installation, before the linking phase, edit the contents of the "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/gennttab" file, amending the following entries) this is not needed anymore. I don't know why but it didn't work with me untill i skipped this part. Thank you again for this helpfull guide |
Tim... said... Hi.Thanks for the heads-up. I'm on holiday at the moment, so I'll check out the installation when I get back. Cheers Tim... |
Remi Collet said... Great tuto, thanks.I'm used to follow then (since RH9) I've successfully installed Oracle 10gR2 on my FC6 box running x86_64 version of Linux/Oracle. Same comment as Ahmed Alhonti about the version. There is no more openmotif on Fedora and openmotif21 never exists on x86_64. I run the installer (and the assistants) without it : no problem. Regards |
Ahmed Ait Mamar said... Thank you very much for this step by step oracle installation. It works fine with no problem.Best regards. Ahmed. |
Mark Hall said... Thanks Tim. You're guide rocks. |
Charles Warren said... I am installing on an X64 system.When I tried to run the command for the openmotif package I got...

Please help. |
Charles Warren said... Please forgive.My bad. Silly mistake. No problem. BTW, I am delighted with how smoothly the installation went now that the GENNTAB stuff with Fedora 5 is no longer necessary. |
Tim... said... Yeah, you've go to o it as the "root" user. :)Cheers Tim... |
Erick said... Hi Tim,Like with Fedora Core 5 I had to remove the following line from /etc/pam.d/login after the database intallation. My terminals from tty1 through tty6 don't allowed me to login. After entering the password it just returns to the login screen. #session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so After this line was commented out from /etc/pam.d/login then it does allow me to login freely. Any ideas ? |
Tim... said... Hi.I'm afraid I don't understand. I'm not a Linux expert, I just use it and follow the install guides. This line is in the install guide, so I use it and it works for me. :) Cheers Tim... |
bozy@pisem.net said... Not sure about i386 platform, but for linux-ppc (Linux on IBM pSeries machines) you have to install IBM XLC libraries from http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24007906otherwise link step fails (-lxl not found) please kindly add this to your instructions (for PowerPC/POWER platform) Alex |

Tim... said... Hi.Remember, questions in the forum, not in the comments! It looks like the libXP shared object is missing from one of the installation directories. I think you may have a problem with your installation media. Download it again, making sure you get the correct version for your platform. Cheers Tim... |
Davide Bolcioni said... The guide is fine, except for a few nitpicks. First, it would be handy to have the exact RPMS spelled out because on an x86_64 system installing unnecessary i386 RPMS brings in a lot of unnecessary stuff. Contradicting the above :-), I found necessary to explicitly add the i386 version of glibc-devel (I already had the x86_64 version installed, of course) otherwise I would get linking errors with crt1.o missing (at which point you have to restart the install from scratch, continuing just leads to missing symbols further on, when linking the agent). |
Tim... said... Hi.I don't have access to an x86_64 machine, so I can't confirm the installation procedure. That's why I wrote x86 on the article. Cheers Tim... |
laxmi pati p said... hi tim,i install every thing, but at last when i am running. $./runInstaller i am getting "bash: ./runInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied" please help me out to solve this problem bye, laxmi pati p |
Tim... said... Look at the really big writing on this page and tell me where you think you should be asking this question!Cheers Tim... |

Tim... said... Hi.You'' see in the second sentence I state that this article is about an "FC6 X86" installation, not an "FC6 X86-64" installation. I don't have a 64 bit machine, so I can't test the install. As a ersult, I have no idea what your problem is. Sorry. Tim... |

Tim... said... Hi.Please ask questions in the forum, not in the comments! Do one of the following: - On the console, log in as the oracle user, not "su - oracle". - If you are using X emulation on a remote PC, export your display variable using the name or IP address of your local PC, not "localhost": export DISPLAY=mypc:0.0 Any more questions, ask them in the forum please. Cheers Tim... |
MANU said... java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using 'localhost:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.Same error for me i set the display please help me manu_b23@yhaoo.co.in |
Tim... said... Hi.Please ask questions on the forum, not in the comments. I don't do personal emails. The answer I gave the previous person applies to you also. The DISPLAY setting is only necessary of you are using X emulation. If yo are on the console, log off and log in as "oracle". Don't "su -". Tim... |
