Dave, my statcksize is set to 500000.  Does it need to be any bigger than that?

Janine, I'm going to try an install on redhat 8, and see if I can get it to work there.  Speaking of redhat, has anyone installed oracle on redhat 8?

Hi Dan,

I have installed Oracle8i on RH 8.  You will need RH 7.3 (in particular disk 2) for the compat libs to RH 6.2.  RH 8 does not have the compat libs anymore.  So you can use 8i on RH 8.  Works ok on OpenACS and CCM.  I have also renamed the ctxhx0 to ctxhx... works ok.

I can email you later the compat libs listing (rpm -qa | grep compat) that I have installed in case you want them.

Do you think 4.7 will make use of 9i?  The only reason that I am sticking to 8i right now is because of OpenACS.

Oh yeah... in case you are using JDBC, the lastest downloadable drivers in Oracle classes12.zip does not seem to work.  So I use thin mode or if I use oci8 I use an older version.

Thanks for the tip Jun, it looks like the install docs which refer to redhat 7.3 can also be applied to redhat 8.0.  Once I installed the compat libs the installer started working correctly.  I haven't quite finished the install, but when I'm done, I'll update the install docs to add a note about installing with redhat 8.

As far as oracle 9, there were some past discussions about using oracle 9 with openacs 4.  I think there are still some issues with regards to running oracle 9 with openacs 4.  If there are still any issues left, I think we should think about rectifying them for the 4.7 release.
