Author: In these days I had to install Oracle 9i (a new version … don’t think so ..) on a RHEL 5 Advanced Platform and after some troubles all works good.
The followings is the steps for a correct setup.
Here we go (skipped basic steps as user creation, standard kernel params and limits settings):
1. Check for required packages:
rpm -q compat-db compat-gcc-34 compat-gcc-34-c++ compat-libgcc-296 compat-libstdc++-296
and
rpm -q compat-libstdc++-33 gcc gcc-c++ glibc glibc-common glibc-devel glibc-headers libgcc make libXp
2. Set environment
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/920
ORACLE_SID=ORCL
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/binexport ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH
2. Workaround #1
su -
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
3. Download and Install:
compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm
compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm –nodeps
4. Workaround #2
su -
cd /usr/bin
ln -s gcc34 gcc32
5. Workaround #3
su -
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libgdbm.so.2.0.0 libdb.so.2
6. runInstaller
7. When NETCA/DBCA will fail
8. Workaround #4
I suggest to apply 9.2.0.8 patchset before.
cd $ORACLE_HOME
rm JRE
ln -s $ORACLE_BASE/jre/1.3.1 JRE
cd JRE/bin
ln -s java jre
cd i386/native_threads/
ln -s java jre
Hope this help someone to avoid waste my same time.
Bye
Riccardo
