RE: install question-solved-thanks

Man the list is s-l-o-w!

Turns out NIS was the problem, and the 8.0.4 installer needs to see the entry in /etc/group. We put the entry in that file, re-ran the installer with no problem, and removed the entry. The installer does not co-exist nicely with NIS.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

I've seen you've got some answers from the list on this. Just wanted to confirm that we too are using NIS, and have the dba group defined in /etc/group.
I guess the oracle installer just checks this file to find the dba group.
