Oracle 10gR2 client on SuSE10 X86

慕鸿霄

This installation has been done smoothly on SUSE 10 beta 2 (SUSE 10 is not out yet).
I don't know if I'm going to upgrade this document when other beta version will be out since everything works pretty well almost out of the box with one of the first betas.
This installation has been quite simple and since it is client only I didn't use orarun as for the server installation.
For an introduction on Oracle on SUSE Professional you can look here (thank you Friedmund).
Make sure you have the needed packages:

• gcc (on SUSE 10 version 4 is used),
  
• glibc-devel,
  
• make,
  
• openmotif,
  
• the base X libraries.

Create two group with groupadd command:
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
then create the user oracle:
useradd -m -G oinstall -g dba oracle
and give it a password:
passwd oracle
Now create your installation directory:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/client_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
Connect as oracle and change your environment setting by editing .bashrc.
I ismply added:
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2/client_1; export ORACLE_HOME
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15; export NLS_LANG
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH;export PATH
to my .bashrc.
I prefer .bashrc instead of .profile or .bash_profile since bashrc is read from non-login shell (such x-term opened from a windows manager).
Bahrc is even included in .bash_profile so it is used even for login shell (such a ssh shell).
For LD_ASSUME_KERNEL and LD_PRELOAD: for 10g they are not needed and can even been harmful (using the libthread... especially with RAC is not one of my preferred choice for a production system).
Recconect to the oracle user so you'll have your new env in place.
Make sure you can open X application (connect with ssh -Y or export the DISPALY variable, or whatever your are used to).
Place yourself in the directory where your instaler is (maybe the cdrom or the directory where you decompressed the tarball download from OTN).
Run the installer as oracle:
./runInstaller -ignoresysprereqs
and follow the instraction. Otherwise you'll get this error:
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
