With the arrival of Oracle Linux 6 comes the inevitable installation articles.
The Oracle installation on Oracle Linux 6 is certainly smoother than the recent Fedora installations have been. Even Enterprise Manager works fine with no meddling.
The official 11gR2 installation guide has not been updated to include Oracle Linux 6 and I can’t see any notes on MOS about it, so I’ve essentially followed the installation for Oracle Linux 5 and adjusted where necessary. I’m guessing when the official notes are released they are going to be pretty close to this. I can’t see any certifications against Oracle Linux 6, so I guess I would avoid it for production Oracle installations at the moment.

Hi Tim,
11gR2 installs without a problem. Now I am playing with Oracle fusion Middleware 11g Identity Management and that just does not install.
It essentially complains about the wrong gcc version (4.4.4 is installed)
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.4/libgcc_s.so: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4′
During the 11.1.1.4 patch installation there is still one complaint left in ins_emagent.mk. funny enough to see:
Installation Successful.
testing ….

Good point, I am installing OL 6 right now for fun to see how it differs from previous Oracle Linux versions. Will test install for Oracle 11gR2 RAC and see if it works.

I just dl last Oracle 11r2 for to install it on Oracle Linux 6 (X86_64) but we don’t have good rpm in DVD… how to fixe it ?
Do you mean a specific RPM is missing, or it is corrupt?
Either way, you can get specific RPMs off the public-yum.oracle.com site. Follow the setup instructions then just type “yum install rpm-name”.

@Kiran : Sounds like you are not connected to the console as oracle properly. You get this error if you connect at root and “su – oracle”
If you have any other problems, please ask the on the forum of my website.
