Re: help needed: install v8.05 under Linux. List of mandatory packages needed

Yep, I had this problem too. Orainst tries to install a file into a directory that doesn't exist, and it doesn't know enough to create it. Obviously a bug in orainst. I just opened another xterm and created the directory it was looking for, then hit Retry in orainst. No problem from there on.

There is probably nothing wrong with your Linux installation. (I used Red Hat 5.1 also)
