Hello!

Following "Oracle 8 Installation Guide for Linux" have this paranormal problems:

First: pag.2-8, running orainst/oratab.sh from root seem don't works

Second: pag. 3-3 running orainst/orainst from oracle user seem don't works

For more precision here a log of that happen:

• (1st) ***

# su - root
# cd /
# ORACLE_OWNER=oracle; export ORACLE_OWNER

(user "oracle" in "dba" group (group id = 501)

# source cdrom/orainst/oratab.sh

(output start)

bash: GROUPS: readonly variable

---

Following conditions should be met to run this script successfully. 1. Needs root permission to run this script. 2. Need to set ORACLE_OWNER enviornment variable to the user who

   installs oracle product.
3. This ORACLE_OWNER should be part of group "dba".

If any of these conditions are not met, please re-run after satisfying these conditions.

---

Is it OK to continue (Y/N)? [Y]: y

The ORACLE_OWNER is set as: oracle
Are these settings correct (Y/N)? [Y]: y

Checking for "oracle" user id...
bash: 0: command not found

The user "oracle" should be in "dba" group. Please add user "oracle" to group "dba" and re-run the oratab.sh script.

(output end)

and logout from root

• (2nd) ***

> su - oracle
> cd /cdrom/oracle/orainst

oracle_at_Linux1:/cdrom/orainst > ./orainst
sh: ./orainst: Permission denied
oracle_at_Linux1:/cdrom/orainst > source ./orainst

sh: ./orainst.cm: Permission denied

oracle_at_Linux1:/cdrom/orainst > ls -la orainst*

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 6094951 Oct 1 1998 orainst.cm
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 18154 Oct 1 1998 orainst.dei

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 92392 Oct 1 1998 orainst.map
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 39517 Oct 1 1998 orainst.vrf

Is possible that is so hard to install a program on Linux ?

Thanks
