Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Redhat 8.0

Jun,

This is a preliminary update and an additional question on installing Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 8.0.

I followed the install doc, with the exception that I set

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
in the shell before running the runInstaller script.

That went well, and I got to the point of creating the database creation script.

When I ran that script, I must have been in a different shell, plus I had not installed the stubs patch. Since I also wasn't clear on what file that was here is what I did:

cp /mnt/cdrom/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz.tar $ORACLE_HOME
cd $ORACLE_HOME
tar xvzf glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz.tar 
./setup_stubs.sh

This seemed to help the db creation script fail much faster! So I added the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to my .bash_profile for the oracle user. Right now, the db creation script seems to be working.

New Question: what is the /usr/i386-glib21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh you talk about, I didn't find such a script?
