Oracle 9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.4.0) installation on Linux AS version 3.0 update 6 on a HP ML570

[Nicholas Kihara]

I am running Linux AS version 3.0 update 6 on a HP ML570 Generation 3 x86_64, I tried installing Oracle 9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.4.0) but got the error below what could be wrong.

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
/tmp/OraInstall2006-01-06_07-01-59PM/jre/bin/java. Please wait...
Error occurred during initialization of VM Unable to load native library:
/tmp/OraInstall2006-01-06_07-01-59PM/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

Regards,
Nick.

Try running this before the installation:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 (RH v3)
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 (RH v4)

Thanks.

I did run export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 but that did not work. The current kernel version am running is 2.4.21-37 Elsmp. See below

$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1

I found this on the Internet, you may try that:

The installation problem is a known bug.

Apply Oracle patch 3006854 before installing.

Use the following for a smooth install:

Hi nick!

There is a verification script InstallPrep.sh available which may be downloaded from metalink and run prior to the installation of Oracle 9i database release 2.

This script verifies that the system is configured correctly according to the Installation Guide. The output of the script will report any further tasks that need to be performed before successfully installing Oracle 9.x DataServer (RDBMS). This script performs the following verifications:-

ORACLE_HOME Directory Verification
UNIX User/umask Verification
UNIX Group Verification
Memory/Swap Verification
TMP Space Verification
Real Application Cluster Option Verification
Unix Kernel Verification

I would suggest that you go through this step before trying the installation.

hope this helps!

kind regards
