I have installed Oracle8i (8.1.7) Enterprise edition on a Mandrake 8.0
machine, along with WebDB & Dev6i, the installation for the Standard
edition would be the same, here is the process I followed
1 - update to glibc-2.2.2-5mdk this is the latest one released by
Mandrake and was specifically issued for the oracle installer problem
(one of them)
2 - if you need to run dbassist (to create a database), get the
glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz fix
from otn, to find it, go to the same page you can download 8.1.7 from
(IOW a pain to get to)
3 - install 8i, but do not create the database
4 - apply the stubs patch from Oracle, make sure that you read the
instructions!
5 - run dbassist and create the database.
At this point, oracle was running, but any access to it gave "oracle not
available" errors. Shutting down oracle and restarting it fixed the
problem, whatever it was (I think that dbassist left oracle actually
running, but the database unmounted, I do not recall having that problem
in the past).
6 - ran webdb installer, no problems in the install
7 - from prior experience, I remembered to remove lesstif, and install
openmotif
8 - installed dev6i no problems in the install, but the reports server
does not seem to be working, still gotta work that out. Most likely a
borked config file somewhere.
