Re: Installing Oracle 8i on a SUN

It's not a shell problem, you have to create the directory for the product you wanted to install. For example:

Oracle_Base: /opt/oracle
Oracle_Home: /opt/oracle/product/8.0.5

and be sure to run the installation under the Oracle's userid, not the root/super user id.
