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?
