oracle db on linux BUT

[zainalj]

you should go to installation Doc first. however you may try this:

add below to /home/username/.bash_profile


export DISPLAY=localhost:0
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEl=2.2.5
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin



to check either your display setting is correct or not try to type 'xclock' at your command prompt

Hi

Do hostname on the linux prompt in a terminal session.
It will show the hostname.
Use the value of hostname in the following command.

DISPLAY=hostname:0
export DISPLAY

If you have a network card installed
DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
export DISPLAY
will work also.

Sometimes your java session will crash with something like SIGSEV.

You then have to unset certain variables.

hi, i have managed to install the oracle db. i typed the following to solve the display problem

1) display=hostname:0.0
2) export display
3) xhost +hotsname

BUT, during installation, there is this error...
"error in invoking target install of makefile" this error statement happens and shows up many times during the linking times.

AND, after installation, i issued sqlplus, the following error occurs
"sqlplus error while loading shared libraries, libclntsh.so.8.o

i am running pentium 133 with 64mb ram, and oracle 8.1.7

please help

Look like you managed to break back of Oracle binaries. I believe you require /usr/ucb in your path, make sure that it comes after /usr/bin and /usr/ccs/bin in the $PATH setting. Then try reinstalling it.

hi, i dont have /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/ucb in my filesystem. please advise..

doc is a bit old (for 8.1.6) but still applicable for 8.1.7 and 9i

[yls177]

these are the versions that i used
1) oracle 8.1.6
2) redhat 7.1
3) glib 2.2.2.10

are they sufficient?
