Installing Enterprise Manager on Linux without orarun, dcopserver problems
556172Dec 5 2007 — edited Dec 6 2007Hi,
I have two Oracle 10.2 Client installations. For the first (db is also on that machine) I used orarun.rpm to set the environment. It works very nicely under all conditions.
On the second machine, I used /etc/profile.local to set the environment instead of orarun.rpm since I wasn't installing the whole database. The client applications starts fine from the command line, logged in as user oracle:
oemapp console
No problem. Path is defined in /etc/profile.local, so I don't even need to navigate to the directory. But when I try to create a shortcut on my desktop, I get the error:
------
DCOP communications error (KSysTrayCmd)
There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list:
/home/oracle/DCOPserver_linux-2bei0_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!
------
However, the dcopserver is running. But there is no /home/oracle/ยจ directory (on either machine). The other machine (set with orarun.rpm) works fine with exact same shortcut. So why not this one?
Thanks for reading. Looking forward to any replies!
EDIT: I made the title more descriptive. Hopefully this helps others.
