Hi to all who responded to my call,=20
I finally got a clean installation of AIX 4.3.3 and Oracle 8.1.5 , what = I
did was:

AIX:
1- Boot the server with AIX CD#1, follow the steps to install. 2- After the BOS is installed, use smit to complete the instalation of = every
package that is part of the BOS. (bos.???) This will complete the installation of the make utility and anything that is still missing.

Oracle:

1- As root,=20


	- create groups DBA and orainstall

	- create user oracle8 in groups DBA and orainstall

	- create directory /usr/local/bin

2- As oracle8


	- execute umask 022

	- set the enviroment variables in oracle8's .profile. Example:

		ORACLE_HOME=3D/oracle/oracle8
		ORACLE_SID=3DTEST
		ORACLE_TERM=3Dvt100
		ORACLE_BASE=3D/oracle
		TMP_DIR=3D/var/tmp
		ORA_NLS33=3D/oracle/oracle8/ocommon/nls/admin/data
		DISPLAY:0.0
		export ......


	- include $ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_HOME/bin, /usr/bin, /usr/ccs/bin in

the PATH


	- . .profile to set everything

3- As root,=20


	- Add in /etc/servicces the listener tcp ports (1521, 1526)

	- Create /cdrom and chmod 777

	- Mount the CD

		mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom


	- execute /cdrom/rootpre.sh

	- execute "xhost +"

4- As oracle8,


	- Execute /cdrom/runInstaller

	- Follow the steps to install Oracle 8.1.5

That's it!

Once again, thanks for your time and hope this helps somebody else!

Thanks Sean,
The display problem is already solved. Now I am dealing with linking problems.

It seems like I didn't intalled the make utility and all its library. I = used
the AIX 4.3.3 CD's to install and I can't find the missing parts in = them.
Do you have any idea of where I should look for this????

To be more direct:
The directories /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/ccs/lib in this test enviroments = have
less than a half than the production machine.

I guess there is where my problems origin.

Any help on this would be appreciated :)

Veronica:

Getting a program to startup under X is fairly simple. There are two things that have to be done. Sometimes these are done by default on a workstation, so when you startup a program remotely they may be new to you.

First you have to tell the program where to display. It can display on any X compatible terminal on the internet, believe it or not. You tell = it
by setting the DISPLAY environment variable like this:

$ export DISLAY=3D192.168.0.1:0.0

The 0.0 part specifies the display on that terminal, as there may be = more
than one (leave it to unix, nothings ever simple :-) )

Next you have to make that display ACCESSIBLE by that program. = Normally
on a workstation, if you're the user running the program, and the same = as
the user who started X, there's no problem. Otherwise you have to do = some
permutation like this:

$ xhost + localhost
or possibly
$ xhost + 192.168.0.1
or this
$ xhost + my.host.domain

One more important thing. This xhost command has to be run on the = machine
where you're going to display your prgram, *AS* the user which started = X,
otherwise you won't have the proper permissions (except if you're = root).

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more explanation.

Sean
