My Hardware :
1 GHz Celeron (Tulatin)
128 MB Ram
Desktop stand alone PC (no network card/no modem)
40 GB HDD - multibooting with Linux having 9 GB and swap is 1 GB at the end of the disk
My Software :
OS : 100% (i.e., Everthing Install ) PCQ Linux based on Red Hat 7.1
Kernel : 2.4.2-2 on an i686
glibc-2.2.2-10
glibc-devel-2.2.2-10
glibc-common-2.2.2-10
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386
compat-libs-6.2-3.i386
compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14.i386
XFree86 version 4.0.3
What I did :
1. Downloaded JDK 1.3.1 from
http://www.thomasfly.com/Oranux/jdk1...-2.1.3.tar.bz2
and then as root :
bzip2 -dc jdk118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2 | tar xf - -C /usr/local
ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
2. Then I created Oracle User Accounts as root:
groupadd dba
groupadd oinstall
useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle
3. Then I created Oracle Directories as root:
mkdir /opt/oracle
mkdir /opt/oracle/product
mkdir /opt/oracle/product/9.0.1
chown -R oracle.oinstall /opt/oracle
mkdir /var/opt/oracle
chown oracle.dba /var/opt/oracle
chmod 755 /var/opt/oracle
4. Then as oracle enterd the following in the .bash_profile of the oracle user
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.0.1
export ORACLE_SID=test
export ORACLE_TERM=xterm
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN;
export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib
5. Rebooted and loged in as oracle (console mode)
6. startx (to start kde)
7. Inserted disc 1 of Oracle 9i AS (it automounted to /mnt/cdrom)
8. Started a terminal and from oracle home directory run the command
/mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
9. Got a message "Initialising Java Virtual Machine from
/tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/jre Please wait......."
10. NOTHING HAPPENS AFTER THAT. PLEASE HELP ME!
Installing Oracle 9i AS 1.0.2.0.0 on PCQ Linux based on Red Hat 7.1
with the same hardware configuration i.e., 128 MB RAM, 1 GB swap, 1 GHz Celeron, etc.,
(Someday, I'll sort it out)
