Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) on RedHat 9.0.93 - Severn

[Miguel Rodriguez_3]

I'm trying to install Oracle 9i over the Beta this beta version of RedHat and when I try to run runInstall I get this error:

Unable to load native library: /tmp/OraInstall2003-09-04_05-22-59PM/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference


Any idea?

Whoa!

You might want to remove the prior version before you start.

This could be from any step in the installation manual or due to kernel changes that are not done.

Oracle is probably the most complex install I've ever done on Linux. It is critically important to follow each and every step of the installation manual.

Have you searched metalink.oracle.com for an answer?

Is a new version of java required? Is the current database/java working right?

This is a brand new installation of RedHat and Oracle, so there is no prior installation.

I did all the steps in the installation procedure as i did when I have installed in RedHat 9.0, including the java part.

I checked in Metalink and there is no information about this error. There is a post in the RedHat mailing list about someone with the same situation.

Yes, oracle on linux is the hardest ! I nearly bite off my keyboard.

About your problem I know nothing, but a search on Google send me back a lot of find, so I put then here for you to follow if you are interested.

I read A few of theses and most point a finger at sun java as the guilty party in this mess .. I dont know that is is the case, I havent followed -up.

Let us know about your findings.

Correct java installation has also been an issue in my oracle installations, 8.x and 9.x

I could get round this problem doing this:
1) Installed the 1.4.1_02 JDK
2) Edited the oraparam.ini file, located in
/home/oracle/Disk1/install/linux
3) Changed the line JRE_LOCATION=../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.3.1.0.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/linux
to
JRE_LOCATION=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02
which is the place where I installed java
4) Ran runInstaller as usual
I could get the installer to pop up, this
way. As for actually installing the beast...
that's work for another day.
HTH

Wait!

java 1.4 is NOT certified by oracle.

Good!!! you got the installer running; here's a doc which I have used to successfully installed oracle9i release 2 onto my Redhat9 lapdog. The url: "http://linux.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/4141". I hope this helps.

Hi all,

I have the same problem when I install Oracle 9i Release 2 on Fedora Core 1. I tried to change the location of JRE, I was able to start the installer, BUT, when the installation process begin, after 3% it goes to 100% and stop without install the software.

Any other idea?

Many thanks

Yanick
