For anyone who wants to try, here is how I install Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1 on
Redhat 9. Before you start, you should have read one of the instructions
for installing Oracle 9i on Redhat 7/8, such as:
http://www.ibiblio.org/gferg/ldp/Oracle-9i-RH8-HOWTO/
or http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
1. Install Sun's JDK 1.4.1_02
2. Run the following commands, your path to runInstaller may vary:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.9; /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
3. During linking phase, following the above mentioned articles to
fix the error in ins_ctx.mk, but ignore the error on ins-oemagent.mk
because I can't find solution to it, I don't use Enterprise manager anyway.
4. Before creating database, do the following:
cd ${JDK1.4HOME}/bin
ln -s java jre
cd $ORACLE_HOME
rm JRE
ln -s ${JDK1.4HOME} JRE
If DB creation started before you do this, you can always do the above and
then run dbca.
In fact, there are still scripts in $ORACLE_HOME/bin that
references jre with -nojit and -native option that are not supported by
JDK 1.4. You can fix them by writing a script in ${JDK1.4HOME}/bin and
name it as jre (instead of sym link as above) to filter out those
unsupported options.
5. To auto start database instance and listerner, do the folowing:
edit /etc/oratab so that the instance you want to start ends with Y
edit dbstart and dbshut script in $ORACLE_HOME/bin to either ignore the
PFILE checking or let the PFILE points to
PFILE=${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/spfile${ORACLE_SID}.ora
Hope this helps.
