Hello All,
I've just installed d2k6irelease for Linux with Oracle 9i database. So far I've been able to start only forms builder but I can't connect to a database through it.
I guess there are some post installation steps that I still need to figure out and I can't find this information in oracle install guide. Below you may find the contents of forms6iconfig.txt and reports6iconfig.txt files with some instructions that I don't quite understand. (I'm new to Linux)
Please prompt me how exactly should I configure a virtual path. Also how can I configure the database connection for d2k tools (due to install of d2k in the separate $ORACLE_HOME I have 2 tnsnames.ora files, one for d2k you may find it at the end of this message, and another for oracle database and I think this is a main reason of db connection problem) Another problem I have with starting net8asst.sh script. Looks like it freezes after printing out the home directory.

I really appreciate a great help of internet community for assisting me all the way and getting me so far with the install/config process. Please don't let me switch to windows

Thank you all so much,

Sincerely,

Paul
