It is a long time I try to install Oracle 8.1.7 on miy linux PCs (Mandrake
9.2, Mandrake 8.1) but without results.

In first case (using Mandrake 9.2) dbassist get me errors during creation of
the DB:
Oracle_Home. In fact dbassist and netasst don't
work with the link created during installation. If I click Ignore button it
go on but db was corrupt in fact there aren't control file
so I cant' startup db.

In second case (using Mandrake 8.1) all is well done but when I make the db
test using netasst it gets error to connect.
I try to connect to Oracle by JDBC but nothing. If I use sqlplus all is ok.

Please Help Me !!!

Couple of things you can try that have helped me:

1) Make sure your shmmax in /proc/sys/kernel is set sufficiently large.
(The error you got is typical of an insufficient shared memory size).

2) unset LD_BIND_NOW . Some versions of java have a shell script in in
the JRE bin directory which is really a wrapper for the "real" java--if such
is the case for you, I suggest editing the "java" script and, in it, ensure
that LD_BIND_NOW does not get set. LD_BIND_NOW causes problems (well,
actually, it detects problems.. but you want your database installed and
downgrading glibc libraries seems a bit drastic. I unset it in my install
and have not had any problems since). Better yet, replace Oracle's JRE with
the latest one from sun (1.4.something, I believe) -- this does not set
LD_BIND_NOW.

3) Set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.10 (or any value less than (but not including)
2.4.20).


Good luck!
