Installation issues of oracle 8i on RedHat linux 7.1.
In the release notes of linux 7.1 on RedHat it says that I do have
tremendous problem to install oracle 8.1.0.7 on linux 7.1. Here is the
following steps you will need to follow before you start the oracle
installation and during the oracle installation.
Perform these steps after you did all the necessary tasks you are
suppose to do for oracle installation as per the installation guide.
I got all these information from the net and just putting them
altogether.


Steps 1. 


Login as root.


After installing LINUX, install these pacakges (the "compat" packages
are necessary for Oracle, the others are services for ftp,telnetd,ssh
& samba)




OFF CD 1  /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS


 rpm -ivh xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14-6.i386.rpm   
 rpm -ivh telnet-server-0.17-10.i386.rpm
 rpm -ivh openssh-server-2.5.2p2-5.i386.rpm
 rpm -ivh wu-ftpd-2.6.1-16.i386.rpm





 rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm;



OFF CD 2


rpm -ivh samba-2.0.7-36.i386.rpm



 rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14.i386.rpm;
 rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/compat-libs-6.2-3.i386.rpm; 



Now, run 



  ntsysv



and choose



   smb


   wu-ftp


   telnetd


   ssh



Steps 2.


Login as oracle user.


Create a shell script file ora_install_env.sh
Add the following entry on the file.



#! /bin/sh



unset LANG


export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5


export LDEMULATION=elf_i386_glibc21


export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/gcc-lib/



Save the file and run from the $ prompt.
Make sure you will start your oracle installation from this window.



Steps 3


Run the oracle installer .


Cd mntrom/Disk1 (assuming ur cdrom is mounted in the /mnt/cdrom)
. ./runInstaller


Follow the screen as per the instruction. Make sure jdk is installed
in the java home you specified during the time of installation. For my
case  it was /usr/local/java



Steps 4.


After installation is complete 97 % 


Error in invoking target install of makefile 


     /ora01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk

 


At this point you need the file glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz. As user
oracle do the following:


     $ cd $ORACLE_HOME
     $ tar -xvzf /tmp/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz
     ./
     ./lib/
     ./lib/stubs/
     ./lib/stubs/libc-2.1.3-stub.so
     ...
     ./lib/stubs/libnss_files.so
     ./setup_stubs.sh
     ./README.stub
     $ ./setup_stubs.sh

     $





and then continue the installation, that is, click Ignore.



A popup window then appears asking to execute the script
/ora01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/root.sh as user root. Before we
execute the script we


correct a few errors (taken from this note). Line 102 



     RMF=/bin/rm -f



is changed into 



     RMF=`/bin/rm -f`



and line 156 



     RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F\( '{print $2}'|$AWK -F\) '{print $1}`



is changed into 



     RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F\( '{print $2}'|$AWK -F\) '{print $1}'`



Execute the script root.sh as user root: 


     # whoami
     root
     # /ora01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/root.sh
     IMPORTANT NOTE: Please delete any log and trace files previously
                     created by the Oracle Enterprise Manager
Intelligent
                     Agent. These files may be found in the
directories
                     you use for storing other Net8 log and trace
files.
                     If such files exist, the OEM IA may not restart.

Hmm, more errors!. In root.sh the above files are removed using rm -f:


     ...
     # remove all previously created log and trace files
     $RMF $ORACLE_HOME/network/trace/dbsnmp*.trc
     $RMF $ORACLE_HOME/network/trace/oratcl*.trc

     $RMF $ORACLE_HOME/network/log/nmiconf.log
     $RMF $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp0
     $RMF $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oemevent0
     $RMF $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oratclsh0

     # remove previously created pkgIndex.tc file
     $RMF $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/library/pkgIndex.tcl

     # remove previously created snmp_ro.ora file
     $RMF $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/snmp_ro.ora
     $RMF $TNS_ADMIN/snmp_ro.ora
     ...





I assume, that we can silently ignore this.



  In the Net8 Configuration Assistant: Welcome window choose Perform
typical configuration and click Next.



The Net8 Configuration Assistant hang for a while and then the window
Database Creation Progress appeared. After a while a pupop window with
 database information appeared:


Database creation completed.



     Database information:



       global database name: ballinux.linuxbox (my database name and
linux machine name)

       database system identifier(SID): ballinux
       SYS account passwrod: change_on_install
       SYSTEM account password: manager





A window End of installation appears; click Exit, and then Yes.



Hope this will help
