Installation log file + DBCA PB

Hello all,

Here is my .bash_profile file under the oracle user:

su - oracle
more .bash_profile
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin; export PATH

#
# Oracle 9i
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.4; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
ORACLE-OWNER=oracle; export ORACLE_OWNER
ORACLE_SID=ORCL; export ORACLE_SID

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdms/jlib
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib; export CLASSPATH

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1; export LD_ASSUME-kernel
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

unset USERNAME

=====

Hope this helps ?
I set the JRE in the CLASSPATH variable ...

Hello,

QUOTE:

well..do a clean reinstallation...then point ur LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 ..then launch DBCA again? see if that helps?

Well, looking at my most recent install, I don't have a lib32 sub-folder under $ORACLE_HOME ? (only lib)

Hello folks,

Here is what I get for:

PS: Typing which java---> no java ...???

You should not try to install Oracle 9i on Linux/Unix without making sure that the JRE is installed correctly. Once this is done and verified, then you can install Oracle.

Here is a site that should have the proper JRE version, assuming that you are running linux on a x86 box.

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/deve...1.1.8/i386/v3/

Then you need to work through the before you install guide and make sure that you have done everything.

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs....htm#sthref101

Then and only then install Oracle. If you did all of the above, you would have a working database by now.

Although you could be missing a patch for Red Hat, so check that too.

I think ptreves is a mole from the SQL Server crowd. How can a single person have so much trouble installing Oracle? Have you seen anyone else anywhere else have this much trouble? I haven't.

how do you know he isn't a mole from the DB2 crowd? I think that he is trying to get someone to utter the magic phrase that will make everything work, so that he doesn't have to learn how to correctly install Oracle.

Ptreves, if you still can't get it try a Windows install, it should be easier. you can also take an Oracle Admin class at your local community college.

ORACLE-OWNER=oracle; export ORACLE_OWNER
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1; export LD_ASSUME-kernel

not exporting them properly

and its

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 not 2.4.1

Hello everyone,

Rest assured I am not a mole.
I am slowly getting a handle on the problems behing my installation issues. Going through the documentation that was pointed out to me, it is stated:

1) chmod u+x j2sdk-1_3_1_09-linux-i586.rpm.bin
./j2sdk-1_3_1_09-linux-i586.rpm.bin
rpm -ivh jdk-1.3.1_09.i586.rpm

I made sure that the jdk-1.3.1_09.i586.rpm was installed on my Linux Server. Even installed, running 'which java', I get no java....

1) How should I go about installing the files you have mentionned to me ? (extension tar.bz2 ??)

PT

PS: On top of the java PB, I still have a problem with the internet host table. I think that my Linux Server (called Linux2005) is not included in the /etc/hosts file ??

you know you dont actually NEED to install a separate JRE to get oracle working.

Hello,

I am getting confused here.
1) Why am I getting a no java message when I type: which java ?
2) When I type java -version, I get nothing ?

3) How can I go about resolving this issue ?
4) How can I use those files, mentionned to me with the tar.bz2 extension ?
