Hey guys please help me...
I'm getting this error while installing oracle9i on RHEL4..

[root@localhost ~]# /home/oracle/OraHome1/root.sh

/bin/chmod: cannot access `/bin/dbsnmp': No such file or directory
/bin/chmod: cannot access `/network/agent/*': No such file or directory

What workarounds should i do for this error?

Hi,
First thing is to have a title that reflect your problem...
Now the messages are quite obvious, oracle needs "dbsnmp" program, and a directory "/network/agent" that you don't have. So read the oracle requirements and install any necessary dependencies before trying to install oracle

Thanks for your reply. Since i'm new to linux i dont know much. Now should i create those directories and then execute root.sh? Can you please explain in detail please....

I'm sure you've got an installation doc provided with oracle (search for README, INSTALL... file) and read it, it surely tell you how to install needed dependencies....
