Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the Disk1 directory:
./runInstaller
The AS10g installer checks for required packages. It will produce the following list of missing packeges:
>>> Package gcc-3.2.3-20 is missing >>> Package compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122 is missing >>> Package compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122 is missing >>> Package compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122 is missing >>> Package compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122 is missing >>> Package setarch-1.3-1 is missing >>> Package gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1 is missing >>> Package libstdc++-3.2.3 is missing >>> Package compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122 is missing >>> Package compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.5 is missing
You can either quit and install these packages or continue with the installation as we’ve installed newer versions of them.
During the installation enter the appropriate ORACLE_HOME and name then continue with the installation.
Post Installation
With the installation complete you can perform any administration tasks using Enterprise Manager:
- Connect to the Enterprise Manager Website (http://<fully-qualified-machine-name>:1810) using the username “ias_admin” and the password you assigned during the installation. If EM is not available start it with the “emctl start iasconsole” command.
- Stop enterprise manager by issuing the “emctl stop iasconsole” command.

Disable secure linux by editing the /etc/selinux/config file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows:
SELINUX=disabled
Alternatively, this alteration can be done using the GUI tool (Desktop > System Settings > Security Level). Click on the SELinux tab and disable the feature.
Setup
Install the following packages:
# From Fedora Core 5 DVD cd /media/dvd/Fedora/RPMS rpm -Uvh setarch-* rpm -Uvh --force tcl-* rpm -Uvh libXp-* rpm -Uvh openmotif-2* rpm -Uvh compat-db-* rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-33* rpm -Uvh compat-libf2c-32-* rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-32-* rpm -Uvh libaio-* rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-32-c++-* rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-296* rpm -Uvh compat-libgcc-296* # From download rpm -Uvh openmotif21-2.1.30-14.i386.rpm
Create the new groups and users:
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle passwd oracle
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
Login as root and issue the following command:
xhost +<machine-name>
Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release information (Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)) with the following:
redhat-4
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the .bash_profile file:
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME

Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable:
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database directory:
./runInstaller
Enter the appropriate ORACLE_HOME and name then continue with the installation.
During the installation, before the linking phase, edit the contents of the “$ORACLE_HOME/bin/gennttab” file, amending the following entries:
# Change this...
LIB=`$ECHO ${TtoLIB} | $SED 's/ /\\
/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
INI=`$ECHO ${TtoINI} | $SED 's/ /\\
/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
BAS=`$ECHO ${TtoBAS} | $SED 's/ /\\
/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
# To this...
LIB=`$ECHO ${TtoLIB} | $SED 's/ /\n/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
INI=`$ECHO ${TtoINI} | $SED 's/ /\n/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
BAS=`$ECHO ${TtoBAS} | $SED 's/ /\n/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
If you don’t do this the ntcontab will hang indefinitely during the linking phase.

Download Software
Download the following software:
Unpack Files
Unzip the files:
unzip 10201_database_linux32.zip
You should now have a single directory containing installation files. Depending on the age of the download this may either be named “db/Disk1″ or “database”.
Hosts File
The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server:
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
Set Kernel Parameters
Add the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:
kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmmni = 4096 # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 fs.file-max = 65536 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 net.core.rmem_default=262144 net.core.rmem_max=262144 net.core.wmem_default=262144 net.core.wmem_max=262144
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters:
/sbin/sysctl -p
Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf file:
* soft nproc 2047 * hard nproc 16384 * soft nofile 1024 * hard nofile 65536
