As Keith said, you need to install software with rpm or yum so that rpm can see it.
Why you can't install samba with yum: perhaps your yum repositories under
/etc/yum.repos.d are not correctly set up, or there is no package with that precise name. In case of the latter, find the correct packages with
yum search samba.
If that doesn't help, tell us what you find at
/etc/yum.repos.d. If this directory doesn't exist,
/etc/yum.conf may also contain repository configurations.
Below is the output of
yum search samba on my system, running Centos 6.5 (should be very similar to Oracle Linux, although I don't know how the versions correspond):
Code:
$ yum search samba
