Problems installing 18c on Centos8

PaulG.auNov 24 2019 — edited Nov 27 2019

I am trying to install Oracle 18 on Centos 8 64 Bit.

I have been able to install the prerequiste component, that in itself requires pre-requisites, but the Oracle install itself fails.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

My system is as follows.

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a

Linux localhost.localdomain 4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 24 11:32:19 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have run the following.

[root@localhost ~]# yum -y localinstall compat-libcap1-1.10-7.el7.x86_64.rpm

[root@localhost ~]# yum -y localinstall compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-72.el7.x86_64.rpm

[root@localhost ~]# yum -y localinstall oracle-database-preinstall-18c-1.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

[root@localhost ~]# yum -y localinstall oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
