Failed to install Oracle database on Linux 64 bit

807674Aug 6 2016 — edited Aug 8 2016

Hello,

I am trying to install Oracle db on Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 64-bit. I used oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip following steps under this link (skipping java part at its beginning):

http://blog.whitehorses.nl/2014/03/18/installing-java-oracle-11g-r2-express-edition-and-sql-developer-on-ubuntu-64-bit/

Now whenever I try to connect to database or launch sqlplus I get the following error every time

I wonder why installing Oracle db engine on linux is such a nightmare while it is a piece of cake on windows?!

PLS help.

root@localhost:/home/superuser01# sqlplus
