Re: Oracle 9.2.0.1 install on Debian 3.0

I am sorry I am replying to my own posts but in case someone has a similar problem I have managed to progress a little further with this.

The dbca was failing miserably during a normal install or when run from the command line. I had a poke around the dbca script and done the following.

The last lines are as follows:

if [ -f /etc/rac_on ]; then
# Run DBCA
$JRE_DIR/bin/jre -native -DORACLE_HOME=$OH -DJDBC_PROTOCOL=thin -mx64m
-classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca $ARGUMENTS else
# Run DBCA
$JRE_DIR/bin/jre -DORACLE_HOME=$OH -DJDBC_PROTOCOL=thin -mx64m
-classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca $ARGUMENTS fi

I changed them to the following:

if [ ! -f /etc/rac_on ]; then
# Run DBCA
$JRE_DIR/bin/jre -native -DORACLE_HOME=$OH -DJDBC_PROTOCOL=thin -mx64m
-classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca $ARGUMENTS else
# Run DBCA
$JRE_DIR/bin/jre -DORACLE_HOME=$OH -DJDBC_PROTOCOL=thin -mx64m
-classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca $ARGUMENTS fi

I have no idea what the implication of this is but I have managed to find some resources on the net about the "rac_on" file

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=oracle+%22%2Fetc% 2Frac_on%22&btnG=Google+Search

Now the dbca configuration assistant starts and appears as expected. I am however unable to create the database. It fails with an ORA-03113 error. Searching throught the alert logs I noticed that there was a SIGSEGV error and

ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [skgmidrealm()+338] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x8A2EE001] [] []

I have hunted high and low to see what would cause this problem and am coming up a blank. There seems to be loads of reasons why Oracle produces this error so I am a bit stuck.

As before, any help would be appreciated on this.
