I got Oracle running on RH7.1 ok, following
these instructions, with a few small changes:
- I didn't recompile the kernel. No problems with shared mem.
- I used the IBM 1.1.8 JDK
- I didn't install the glibc2.1 toolkit, but used the procedure at the top of this
- The suggested .bash_profile for the Oracle user has some bugs (I think) in it:
PATH=${PATH}:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}:/bin
should be
PATH=${PATH}:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/bin
and
if [ "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}" == "" ]; then
should be
if [ "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" == "" ]; then
- Last thing, at about 99% the installer gave an error trying to run make install against ${ORACLE_HOME}/ctx/lib/insXXX.mk -- I just cd'd to the directory and did a manual make -f insXXX.mk install which worked fine. (Sorry, I can't remember the exact name of the .mk file, but there's only two in that directory and only one of them begins ins_)
The very last thing, make sure you have
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
in your AOLserver startup script otherwise loadjava (and hence the .sqlj parts of the OpenACS install) won't work.
Hmph, it's a lot easier than it sounds!
