9i runInstaller hangs - AIX 5.3 ML05
DP
I cannot get oracle to install on my AIX 5.3 Maint Level 05 box, the
installer is very very slow, and hangs at different spots. The
installler will say it is linking, but there are no ar, make etc.
processes running, It will prompt for the next disk, but will never
refresh.
It's a pretty sizable box 4CPU, 8GB RAM.
All install requirements (packages/patches) on the server has been
met.
I am using reflection X, something we have used for a long time with
no problems..
Any Ideas? I tried a silent Install with responseFile, but all that
isntalls in is the Installer.
Any Idea's or suggentins would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dennis
P.S.
Oracle Support has tried to help, but they cannont pinpoint anything
either.

I also had strange problems with 9 and reflections going to hp-ux.
What I eventually figured out is it was a focus-on-window issue. I
never figured out the actual answer (which is probably something in
the X focus settings, which I can't remember anything about), but I
did discover that by having several windows open I could alt-tab
between the windows and eventually discover how to get to the hidden
one in the back.
Of course, AIX may have different issues having to do with privilege
issues or something. Are you sure the java is a correct version,
check the privileges of everything, does your installActions log say
anything at all? Any trace files? Are you using the correct
installer? There are various issues in various patch sets about that.
I'm sure I've seen your question answered before somewhere, maybe some
more googling (including oracle-l and searching on the
forums.oracle.com) might hit on something.

We beleive that we narrowed it down to Reflections, when we used
Cygwin the installer was slow, but it did finish.

I've recently been converted to using VNC.
I always thought x-windows was rubbish - slow and resource hungry -
and I could never uunderstand why an xwindows client was not bundled
with Oracle s'ware if it's a prerequisite for installation ...
grrr ...
Anyhoo - I've found VNC (www.realvnc.com - and it's free) works much
better where x-windows runs like a dog for no discenable reason that I
can fathom.

Neil.

Hmm, exactly the opposite of my experience. VNC runs like a dog, OK,
uses less resources, but I find it's drawbacks outweigh it's usefulness,
except, of course, where there is nothing else available.

Your temporary financial embarrassment will be relieved in a surprising manner.

Never had a problem using Cygwin.
Back in the days, I worked for Oracle, we stopped
conversations with the client on installation issues,
as soon as they made clear, Reflection was being
used.
Thought it would have been resolved by now (it's ten years
since I left Oracle), but it seems not.
Or you have been using a ten year old version, of course :)

Actually, I have just completed installing 12 application sever
installations (AS 10g 10.1.2, 10.1.3 and 10.1.4) and 3 databases, all om
Linux (SLES 9.3) with Reflection X. Not one problem at all. I only miss a
paste-option in the x-terminal.

Not saying Refelction doesn't work; just that it used
to be unsupported to a level installation issues where simply
ignored until retried with another product
