OPatch - Patches Installations

Bruno PalmaMay 18 2009 — edited May 19 2009
Dear all.

I've got a Oracle 10g R 2.0.1 under Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 and now I'm trying to apply a patch. I accessed the Metalink Website and found p6880880_102000_LINUX.zip that I must install. I downloaded it and used unzip at ORACLE_HOME and I could see that the folder OPatch was created.

I accessed the folder ( cd OPatch) and I ran opatch version command but I got this message:
dirname: invalid option -- b
Try `dirname --help' for more information.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/opatch/OPatch

Could anybody help me with that. I tried some google searches but I couldnt sort it out anyway. My variables are set like I show below:

export ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_SID=orcl

Thanks a lot
