Re: Oracle 9i AS installation on SuSE Linux 7.1 Professional

Oh yeah, one more thing... now the database wont start. This is the example output (spaces and junk removed):

bash> dbstart
SQL> ERROR:
ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist SQL> ORA-24324: service handle not initialized ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist SQL>
Database "[SID]" warm started.

Does anyone know what a "hostdef extension" is or how to create one? Can anyone help my broken installation?
