Re: Please HELP: Terrible problems installing on Linux (Mandrake 8.1)

Hi,

   Hmm ... getting Oracle running on Linux can be an art in itself ;) I trust you have unset the LANG env variable (i.e. unset LANG) it causes major problems with all the Oracle java apps under SuSE. Another thing to try is to edit the startup script for the dbca application, i.e. try something like vi $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca, then add the -nojit java option. This sometimes works!

   The only other thing that comes to mind is that dbca can crash if your listener.ora file is either not specified or has errors in it. Try running netasst or edit $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora and double check your settings.
