ORACLE BOMB

[Nobody's Hero]

Installing Oracle 8.1.6 on an Nclass. The install bombs with a core dump.
When I issue 'file core'
I get
core: core file from `more` - received SIGSEGV.

Is this telling me something I should know?
I know the java piece for Oracle has had recent problems with ora install. Any ideas?

What is the valus of your "maxssiz" (max stack segment size) ? Try increasing it and see if it helps. The SIGSEGV error could be due to the stack growth failure and if that's the case increasing the above kernel parameter can help.

Yes,
I just figured it out after I posted my question. I had this problem before and you are correct. I need to increase maxssiz. I figured it out by doing a more on a very large file and it gave me a stack failure and a maxssiz error. I have maxssiz = 0 and on other boxes it is much larger and I can 'more' a large file on those boxes.

Thanks,
Bob
