Re: get error installing oracle (Newbie ) Can anyone help

Hi Pankaj,

You are running on a Sun 420, which is apparently running in 64bit mode. The
installer is looking at these two facts and compiling to give you the fastest executable possible.

The problem is most likely due to the fact that you are running Solaris 2.6
and it probably hasn't been patched in awhile. You'll need to go to

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/patches/index.html

to get the latest patches for your OS version.

I would upgrade the machine to Solaris 8, install the latest patches, and
then install Oracle. But thats just me.

Good luck,

-Dirk
