Installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux

[siroracle]

Hi,

I have problem installing Oracle 8.1.7.0.1 for Linux. The install process reports problems with linking some files (like net_client). So when the installations finishes, some programs like svrmgr or lsnrctl report missing libraries.

I am running Red Hat Linux 6.2 and has all the OS software requirements that were mentioned in the Oracle Docs.

Is this some known issue? How do I install it properly?

Thanx!

create symlinks to dbora for the various runlevels by issuing the following commands:

# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K10dbora
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K10dbora
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S98dbora
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98dbora
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S98dbora
