Oracle 9i (version 2) + CentOS 4.7 64 bits

716660Aug 11 2009 — edited Aug 12 2009
Hi

I did manage to install making many "tricks" most of them were only install software but at the end of the installation It stopped and I realized that the runInstaller was looking for 32 bits libs instead of $ORACLE_HOME/libs so I solved changing my /usr/bin/gcc32 to /usr/bin/gcc and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with $ORACLE_HOME/libs32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

So I would like to know if this "tricks" could negative affects to my Oracle Installation....

What could be the impact on the database ¿?
Is my oracle really running at 64 bits ¿?

FYI:

Pre-installation:

Software that I needed:

yum install xfce4-toys.x86_64
yum install glib2.i386
yum install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.x86_64
yum install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.i386
yum install libxslt.i386
yum install compat-db.x86_64
yum install compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64
yum install gcc-c++.x86_64
yum install libaio-devel.x86_64
yum install sysstat.x86_64
yum install glibc-devel.i386
yum install compat-gcc-32.x86_64

The "compiler trick":

cd /usr/bin
mv gcc gcc64
mv gcc32 gcc

The oracle needs:
groupadd dba
useradd oracle
mkdir /opt/oracle
mkdir /opt/oracle/9.2
chown -R oracle:dba /opt/oracle
touch /etc/oratab
chown oracle:dba /etc/oratab
sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=100000000
echo "kernel.shmmax = 100000000" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

Unpacking the oracle:
cpio -idcmv < amd64_db_9204_Disk1.cpio
cpio -idcmv < amd64_db_9204_Disk2.cpio
cpio -idcmv < amd64_db_9204_Disk3.cpio

Running the installer:
(log at the server as oracle in my case ssh -Y -l oracle myoraserver)
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/9.2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:/lib:/usr/lib/:/usr/local/lib
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.4.19"
./runInstaller

Thanks in Advanced ;o)
