Oracle Database Discussions

Hello people,

today I tried to install Oracle 10g R2 on a Red Hat ES 4 x86_64 server and got a lot
of problems current the installation progress...

I downloaded the 10201_database_linux_x86_64.cpio.gz from the oracle homepage
for my architecture and tried to start the runInstaller from the database directory.
The first annoyed thing is, that the installer needs some i386 libaries to start the
installer without problems. That seems to be bad if I use a 64 bit machine... but ok,
I installed the necessary i386 libaries with

# up2date --arch=i386 -i xorg-x11-libs
# up2date --arch=i386 -i xorg-x11-deprecated-libs

and runInstaller works fine. Current the installation progress i received the following
messages:

1.
Error in invoking target 'install' of makefile '/oracle/product/10g/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk'. See '/oracle/product/oraInventory/logs/installActions2006-07-28_12-32-28PM.log' for Details.

2.

I pressed 'continue' for each message and completet the installation.

For your information here the libraries that are recommended in the installtion
documentation from oracle:

# rpm -q libaio

That are all x86_64 packages - for sure - because I use RH ES 4 x86_64.

That seems to be ok or? At next I tried to start the dbca and got the following error
message:

Do you know what I can do to solv all this errors?

What i386 libraries I need specially. I searched for a complete list for all necessary
i386 libraries that are needed for 10g x86_64, but I couldn't find one.

Could you help me please?

Cheers,
Jonny
