Re: Oracle 9i Release 2(9.2.0.4) on Slackware 10.1

I installed Oracle 9i on WBEL3 (White Box Enterprise Linux 3). The lastest is Respin 2 March-2005.

WBEL3 was created from the source of Red hat Enterprise Linux 3. However, WBEL3 is free.

During the WBEL3 installation, I used the GUI (default) installer, and was sure to install X and the Legacy Package. The Oracle Universal Installer requires these packages.

For installing Oracle 9i on WBEL3, see

I had to deviate from what appears on
http://www.dizwell.com/albums/linora9/html/prelim1.html

I installed the following packages, in the following order. Order matters. For example, compat-db-4.0.14-5.i386.rpm requires libtcl-8.3.so which is part of tcl-8.3.5-92.i386.rpm, hence, I installed tcl-8.3.5-92.i386.rpm before installing compat-db-4.0.14-5.i386.rpm.

CD2	tcl-8.3.5-92.i386.rpm
CD2	compat-db-4.0.14-5.i386.rpm
CD2	compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
CD2	compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
CD2	compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
CD2	compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
CD3	openmotif21-2.1.30-8.i386.rpm

setarch-1.3-1.i386.rpm was already installed on my system. If you need to install it, it's on CD1.

I did not have to move the following,

	mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
	mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323

Although I did link the following,

	ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
	ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++
