Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 7.2 (2.4.7-10smp kernel) [message #97092]

I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat Linux 7.2 with the 2.4.7-10smp kernel. I set up all the env vars, users, groups, and installed the compat gcc, egc, libs etc. When it gets to the linking process it keeps giving me an error in the linking progress at one step, something with not being able to target a makefile ctx something or other. I try clicking retry, but nothing happens, but if you click ignore it continues on with the install and then says everything was successful. Then it allows me to configure Net8 fine, then it shows the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant as "in progress" but just kind of hangs there and never let's you do anything with it. I even tried pressing "stop" but it does not respond. Here is what I get when I try to go to SQLplus:

[[oracle@megatron bin]]$ ./sqlplus

SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Wed Nov 28 05:20:49 2001

LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/OraHome1/dbs/initdb1.ora'

Worst part is that the file is non-existant and I have no idea what the hell is going on. Never had this much trouble with 8.1.7 before :( Any ideas how I can manage to salvage this install? Obviously removing it all and installing it again does not work either. Same situation :(

Hi
Keep patience. Linux requires oracle patch to be loaded. That yoiu will get from oracle.com site.
So you have to load oracle in linux in customised way. When it will ask database press NO, complete this. Exit from installation. Apply patch in oracle folder, that information details will be avaiable from the patch itself. Then again try to install oracle and database also. It will work fine. I had done oracle 8.1.6 in Linux 7.1 in this way successfully. Further if you have any problem ell me.

Thanks.

Suresh

Hi Raj,

U have to add this line in the bash profile file.

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL;

Then reboot the pc and start installing.

Let me know if u will find any problem.

Good luck.

Suresh

I got your problem a few month ago and I found the solution on:
http://www.greenpeace.org/~bruno/oracle.html
Your problem comes from the fact that Oracle relies to link on the Glibc 2.1 and RedHat 7.1 and later ships with Glibc 2.2
Cheers,
Benjamin
