Oracle9i installation

[Filosofo]

Hello ,
I read on a documente that HP-UX 64 operating system installation does not create a few required X-library symbolic links. These links must be created manually before starting Oracle9i installation.
The links are:

ln -s /usr/lib/libX11.3 libX11.sl

ln -s /usr/lib/libXIE.2 libXIE.sl

ln -s /usr/lib/libXhp11.3 libXhp11.sl

ln -s /usr/lib/libXi3 libXi.sl

ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.4 libXm.sl

ln -s /usr/lib/libXp.2 libXp.sl

ln -s /usr/lib/libXt.3 libXt.sl

ln -s /usr/lib/libXtst.2 libXtst.sl


What thik you about this "idea"?

Thanks

Filo

Having installed Oracle9i a few times, I don't ever remember doing such a thing!

And after reviewing my systems those symbolic links are already in place!

It's probably because Oracle has no clue!

Hi,

When we installed 9i, we had to create some of these symbolic links.

The X libraries are included with the X11MotifDevKit,which is included with these bundles:

S800: B3901BA C/ANSI C Developers Bundle for S800

S700: B3899BA C/ANSI C Developers Bundle for S700

If you do not have these products installed (purchaseable) then you will need to create the links manually.

As to why Oracle expect customers to have these products installed as default .... I don't know.

hi,
this is because of what Oracle call a known "HP Bug".

From Note:201023.1: HP-UX: Quick Start Guide - 9.2.0 RDBMS installation.


...
7. Check if you have the X-library symbolic links under /usr/lib

Due to a known HP bug (Doc.id. KBRC00003627), the default HP-UX 64 operating system installation does not create a few required X-library symbolic links. These links must be created manually before starting the Oracle9i Release 2 installation. You must have superuser privileges to run these commands.

$ su - root
$ cd /usr/lib
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libX11.3 libX11.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXIE.2 libXIE.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXext.3 libXext.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXhp11.3 libXhp11.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXi.3 libXi.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.4 libXm.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXp.2 libXp.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXt.3 libXt.sl
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libXtst.2 libXtst.sl

hi filo,

1) i have encounterd this problem in while CREATING a database of 8i on hp-ux 11. the oracle 8i was installed successfully but the database wont create. then i searched the net and came upon this solution. my database was created successfully after linking.

2) you need not have to link. as i have installed many a times 9i rel2 and i never had to do the linking.

3) check for the actual jave path, which you have to specify when oracle intaller prompts you to do that. and if you download the jre, just make sure to enter the actual path of jre ...but the path which installer suggests you does not matches with the actuall path.

i hope this will help you.
