Hi Tim,

I just got the latest version of oracle xe running on Fedora Core 5. I traced the binary and the key for me was disabling SELinux. These are the steps I took, hope they help.

Step 1)
su – root

Step 2)
yum install libaio

Step 3)
Make sure the machine has a hostname.
/etc/hosts
192.168.2.13 molly molly

Step 4)
Set hostname
hostname molly

Step 5)
Disable SELinux. I straced the binaries and this was the key for my installation.
setenforce 0

Step 6)
Install the software
rpm -ivh oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm

Cheers

Hi Tim,

I’m eagerly waiting for your article on installing oracle 10g database on FC5.

Please drop a line when it is ready along with the url.

Thanks,

Nandhu.
