help retry ignore cancel

Re: Oracle 8.1.6i installation problem

Hi,

If it's 64bit Oracle that you are installing then your kernel parameter 'maxdsiz' needs to be set to 256Mb at least. The default is 64Mb.

Re: Oracle 8.1.6i installation problem

Hi, If you have finished the installation. you can ignore this reply but we had the same problem. Have a lookm at your swap space. It has to be a min of 400 MB and you have to have a minimum of 128 MB Ram which you do have.

Re: Oracle 8.1.6i installation problem

Nick:

I had the exact same problem installing 8.1.6 on a workstation. The problem was solved by increasing swap space. I created a file swap space in addition to regular swap. I am sure I overkilled the size--3X amount of memory, but I had enough disk and didn't want to go through the installation process again.

Re: Oracle 8.1.6i installation problem

I got a similar message, caused by a permissions problem. I suggest that you look at make.log to make sure that the Oracle installer can access all the directories it needs.
