Hi all,

just for those who have tried installing Oracle 9.0.1 on SuSE 7.3 without success - here a procedure that worked for me:

(1) unset LANG (i'm not sure if this is still neccessary - in 8.x a
java-exception was thrown when the LANG variable was not set correctly)
(2) ./runInstaller
(3) continue with the installation until you get a make-error: saying there
was an error making inst_proc.mk
(4) open a command prompt and edit the "genclntsh" script which is located
in "$ORACLE_HOME/bin". Change the line
LD_SELF_CONTAINING="-z defs"
to
LD_SELF_CONTAINING=
(5) start the script using "./genclntsh"
(6) click the retry button on the oraInstaller-messagebox

Linux rules ;-)

P.S.: If you are trying to reinstall oracle - make sure that you completly remove the unsuccessful installation or you will get some write errors when Oracle Installer tries to overwrite some write protected key files. Received on Sun Feb 17 2002 - 10:46:46 CST
