Oracle universal Installer hangs when installing on Linux

[imose]

Please help oracle installer hangs when I start installing on Linux. Is there some parameters I need to change somewhere if so how do I do that ?
I have a 10GB hard drive with only linux installed on It thanks!

It is difficult to help you solve the problem without any clue as to what type of error, or at what stage the installer hangs.

Pointers

-What version of Oracle are you installing and on what Linux?
-Make sure you have sufficient RAM for your Oracle version
-Make sure you have all the environment parameters set
- Make sure Oracle group/user and appropriate privileges are assigned...

One really needs more info in order to help here otherwise one is just shooting in the dark.

Hi...

I think there is some problem with the Linux Kernel. There is some Compatiblity issue between Linux 7.2 KERNEL and the Java Installer.

You can try this solutions :

1. Reinstalling the Linux OS with Red Hat Linux (6.2)
2. Put this parameter "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5" in you Oracle user .profile or .bash_profile.

Hope these solutions can solve your problems.

Rgds.

I think Universal Installer does not work with kernel 2.4.2, glibc 2.2

I dont know about Mandrake but according to a collegue who succesfully installed 8.1.7 Redhat 7.1 he did this

install:
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm (located in DISC 1)
compat-egcs-6.2-3.i386.rpm (the version number may differ, located in DISC 2)
compat-libs-6.2-3.i386.rpm (located in DISC 2)
jdk118_v3 (downloaded from http://www.blackdown.org)

enviroment variables:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
source /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
export LANG=en_US


I succesfully installed 8.1.6 with these instructions

THIS IS REDHAT 7.1 Be aware
