Hello world ;-)
I tried on two different test server the installation of
Oracle 8.0.5.0.0 Standard Edition on SuSE 6.2.
On both server I got several problems. Maybe you
can help me. Here are the steps of my installations:
- http://www.suse.de/~mha/oracle/oracle8051STD-suse62.html
This is an installation instruction for Oracle8 on SuSE Linux.
- I downloaded all the mentioned patches.
- I copied the complete Oracle8 CD to an installation directory and
set all the permissions. (/install-8.0.5)
- I extracted all the patches as the SuSE instruction tells
- with rpm -Uvh g20binut.rpm g20egcs.rpm g20glibc.rpm g20libs.rpm
I installed the glibc-2.0 compatibility packages. From archive
oracle8051STD-suse62.tar.gz I copied the libtcl7.5.so to
/usr/i486-glibc20-linux/lib/libtcl7.5.so and installed the packages
tcl_old.rpm and orarun.rpm with rpm -Uvh
- I edited the lines 10 and 139 of /install-8.0.5/orainst/oratab.sh and
changed GROUPS to GROUPSCMD.
- The user oracle and the group dba has been created. User oracle
uses bash1 and not bash
- The .profile of user oracle:
export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
export ORACLE_TERM=vt220
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/products/8.0.5.1
export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_OWNER=oracle
9. As root I created the /etc/oratab with /install-8.0.5/orainst/oratab.sh
The enviroment variable ORACLE_OWNER and SID I set manually.
- Started the Oracle Installer from /install-8.0.5/orainst/orainst.sh and
selected 'custom installation' from a staging area without creating DB
objects.
- I didn't select the Intelligent Agent, but all other products listed.
- During installation some parts of the documentation weren't copied. That
seems
to be normal. I did a mkdir -p $ORACLE_HOME/doc/server.805/install/ as
user oracle
and did a retry in Oracle Installer. Everything worked fine...
- After installation finished with success I executed the file root.sh as
root.
- I tried to install the lnxpatch (one of the patches mentioned above).
The SuSE instruction
tells, that some errors are normal. So I ignored them. (some errors on
cp , mv and gmake)
- here comes the patch from 8.0.5.0.0 to 8.0.5.1.0. From
$ORACLE_HOME/orainst I called
./orainst and selected Install, Upgrade, or De-Install Software and
Add/Upgrade Software.
The location of ORACLE_HOME was correct and I said Yes. The Installer I
gave the full path to
the location of the 8051patch. (all as user oracle)
- I selected both products.The Installer gives the following error:
This os a patch release to be installed with version 8.0.5.0.0 of
precompiler products. No precompiler products are found in this
ORACLE_HOME. So, skipping precompiler patch set.
But I selected the precompiler at the first step of installation.
What is going wrong? Can I go on with the last patches and installations
steps before the precompiler is installed? If yes, how do I go on? There
is the last patch of archive oracle8051STD-suse62.tar.gz called patch.gz.
As described at the SuSE instructions I tried to apply the patch. But
I am asked for each file to be patched....
Who can help me??
Many thanks......
