Have you actually installed 9.2.0.4.0 on Red Hat AS 3.0. It is pretty ugly, I refused to do the patches a metalink tar suggested, because they are absurd, and constitute a lack of support. With 10.1.0.2, at least the installer will run: -- Operating System: Linux x86 Version Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3 Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 9.2 N/A Version N/A Status: Certified Product Version Note: None available for this product. Certification Note: The following requirements are needed for a successful installation of Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.1) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 1. Software: Linux kernel version would be 2.4.21-4.EL Glibc Version Number glibc 2.3.2-95.3 Required OS Patches - compat-db-4.0.14.5 - compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122 - compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122 - compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122 - compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122 - openmotif21-2.1.30-8.i386.rpm - setarch-1.3-1 2. Environment: Put gcc296 and g++296 first in $PATH variable by creating the following symbolic links. These are required for the relinking of some Oracle binaries (as root) % mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323 % mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323 % ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc % ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++ hostname command should return the fully qualified hostname as shown below: - % hostname - hostname.domainname If any Java packages are installed on the system, unset the Java environment variables, for example JAVA_HOME. The oracle account used to install Oracle 9.2.0.1, should not have the Oracle install related variables set by default. For example setting ORACLE_HOME, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include Oracle binaries in .profile, .login file and /etc/profile.d should be completely avoided. 3. Other environment settings: For hugemem kernel install rpm setarch-1.0-2.i386.rpm or higher. - % setarch i386 For uni, smp and boot kernel this step is not required. Define and export the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL before starting the install process: - % export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 Additional Installation Steps Open a new terminal window Apply bug patch 3006854 - to resolve libcwait symbol issue before invoking Oracle installer. After completing above steps start ./runInstaller from 9iR2 CD 1 from shell where you have defined above variable. You may get the following two errors: Relink error for ins_oemagent.mk - Click ignore and complete the install. Apply the patch for Bug 3119415 after the install is completed ctx relinking error in ins_ctx.mk: Click ignore. This is fixed by applying 9.2.0.4 patchset The installation will continue without displaying further errors. ADDITIONAL NOTE For customers using asynch_io , apply bug patch 3208258. =============================================================== Ray Stell stellr@vt.edu (540) 231-4109 KE4TJC 28^D ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@freelists.org put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
