Hello all I'm having some difficulty installing Oracle 11gR2 on RHEL 6.2 I have compiled a giant list of every single step I have taken so far I installed RHEL 6.2 on VMWARE it did it's easy install automatically I Selected 4gb of memory Selected max size of 80Gb Selected 2 processors

I have done alot of googling in advance and beleive I have fixed alot of the common problems people have when they get this Java:132 error (such as doing su - then su - oracle and trying to install) but I'm still having problems

The version of oracle i downloaded is Linux x86-64 11.2.0.1 I am installing this on a local machine NOT a remote machine
I followed the following documentation docs.oracle.com / cd/E11882_01/...e24326/toc.htm

I selected the following prerequisites for my VMWARE machine (should be irrelevant because I have tried different selections and gotten the same error)
4gb of memory
max size of 80Gb
2 processors

The version of oracle i downloaded is Linux x86-64 11.2.0.1

I am installing this on a local machine NOT a remote machine

1. Easy installed with RHEL 6.2 for VMWARE
2. Registered with red hat so I can get updates
3. Reinstalled vmware-tools by pressing enter at every choice
4. Sudo yum update at the end something about GPG key selected y then y
5. Checked Memory Requirements
grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo

MemTotal: 3921368 kb

uname -m

x86_64

grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
SwapTotal: 6160376 kb

Swap: 6160376 0 6160376

All looked fine to me except maybe for swap?

6. Software Requirements
cat /proc/version

9. THIS IS PROBABLY WHERE I MESSED UP

I then exited out of the root account so now I'm back in my account chris then I
su - oracle

echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

umask
0022 (so it should be set already to what is neccesary)

Also from what I have read I do not need to set the DISPLAY variable because I'm installing this on the localhost

I then opened the .bash_profile of the oracle and changed it to the following

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin; export PATH
ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle
ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID

I then shutdown the virtual machine shared my desktop folder from my windows 7 then turned back on the virtual machine logged in as chris opened up a terminal then:
su -

for some reason the shared folder didn't appear so I reinstalled vmware tools again and restarted
then same as before
su -

cp -R linux_oracle/database /db; chown -R oracleinstall /db; chmod -R 775 /db; ll /db
drwxrwxr-x. 8 oracle oinstall 4096 Jun 5 06:20 database

exit
su - oracle
cd /db/database

su - oracle

above prevents X-Windows from working.
you must log onto DB Server system with X-11 packet forwarding enabled
ssh -X oracle@DBServer

xclock must succeed before OUI will succeed
