Oracle Installation on HP Unix

[Sharma]

Oracle 817
Unix - HP UX 11

When installing Oracle on Unix Box using Oracle installer the first part of installation is more or less successful.
In second part where it tries to link it gives lot of errors and I keep on pressing IGNORE on it, till everything was over.

After this, when Oracle Installer try to create the database and configure the Net 8, everything failed.

What is the best way of installing Oracle on HP Unix
How can I re run this linking step again.

Thanks!

check if you in compliance with Oracle memory requirements, at least 256 for 8i and more for 9i........

are you installing from the CD or from HD?

Make sure you have ENV set right

Have you tried creating the database manually?

I don't know on hp-ux, but on solaris you can:
% $ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink all

From the installation experience I have on the Sparc mchines, I will suggest that you reinstall the 817. Before you reinstall the 817, you want to check the OS patches required. Do you remember the error msg?

I am installing from CD.
Most the errors were related to make file.

[Shestakov]

In log file check what system libraries u need for make file:
log file place in:
oraInventory_location/logs/installActions.log
then check list of system packages that u need :

$ swlist -i

may be u can find problem.

After you find out the problem "file", do the following.

$> make -f install

This should tell you the reason of problem.

$> make -f filename install

I see the Oracle Software got installed, but the error came when the Oracle Installer trying to link the files,

Now when I type sqlplus it gives following message:
$ sqlplus
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /opt/java/jre.1.1.8/lib/PA_RISC/nati
ve_threads/libjava.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)
$

And, this is how the installActions.log looks
