Rob said... Tim,Did your 'Check operating system requirements' pass? On my installation I get an error: redhat-7 not supported. I noticed /etc/redhat-release was not edited in this installation doc. When I changed it to contain redhat-4 I got the error : redhat-n/a not supported I managed to install ignoring the error but it would be nice to let OUI run the package requirements check. Or am I missing something? Thanks for all the great work, Rob. |
Tim... said... Yes, the operating system check fails. I mentioned this in the article,"Some of the prerequisite checks will not complete due to this not being a supported Linux distribution. Check each of these prerequisites to set them to "User Verified" then you can proceed." This is not affected by altering the /etc/redhat-release file, or the "./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" command. I'm not sure how the new installer checks the OS. Cheers Tim... |
Rob said... Hi Tim,I found out OUI probably uses the command "lsb_release -irc" to check the OS. Changing the content of /etc/redhat-release to redhat release 4 fixes the installer check. Rob |
Tim... said... OK. I also tried "redhat-4" which has always worked on previous installations, and is listed in the prereq list itself. I followed your lead and tried "redhat release 5" and it worked fine.I've altered the article to include this. Cheers Tim... |
Hunter Moseley said... Make sure you have ksh installed.The installation kept dying in the middle. I finally noticed the "/bin/ksh not found" errors. Hunter |
Jon said... Thanks, Tim, for your 11g installation guide on Fedora 7. On the first try, OIU complained about fs.file-max being too low, and compat-libstdc++-33 not installed. After re-editing /etc/sysctl.conf for fs.file-max and installing compat-libstdc++-33, OUI proceeded to install 11gR1, and DBCA was used to created a database.Many thanks for a great article, Jon |
