Oracle 11g2 Installtion on CentOS 5

Post by nieselfriem » 2012/01/27 13:57:54

The Oracleinstaller required some 32-Bit libraries like compat-libstdc++. But yum installed only the 64 bit libaries. If you try the command for example [code]yum install libstdc++.i386[/code] then you can see the error message:
[code] No package libstdc++.i386 available[/code]

What can I do?

You could [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28723&forum=54]provide more information about your system[/url] by running "./getinfo.sh [b]package[/b]" and showing us the output file.

The output file was longer than shown. The paste was truncated, and no need to nest the [code] ... [/code] tags.

[code]
# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

A number of issues here.

First is that you are running an obsolete CentOS-6.0 installation, and not CentOS-5, so you are either in the wrong forum, or need to re-install with CentOS-5.

Oracle does not support their database on EL6 derivatives, last time I looked not even their own.

The 32-bit CentOS-6 package is libstdc++-4.4.6-3.el6.i686 - not i386. That can be determined by "yum provides libstdc++".

Beyond that, you have rather a mess with your repo configs. Apparently you have hand-configured [b][i]rpmforgge[/i][/b] (should be [b]rpmforge[/b]) and [b]epel[/b] repos as I see no -release packages for them. You have both of those mutually incompatible repos enabled without using yum-plugin-priorities and that is guaranteed to be problematic.

Sorry my english i not so good.

If I?ve understood you correctly, you?re saying that I can not install Oracle 11g2 on OS's like RHEL 6 ore CentOS 6 only on 5 Systems?

I won't say it can't be done but it is not supported. See the [url=http://www.redhat.com/about/news/blog/Red-Hat-Submits-Oracle-11gR2-on-Red-Hat-Enterprise-Linux-6-Certification-Test-Results-to-Oracle]upstream publicity release[/url]. Some related links from a google on [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=rhel6+site%3Aoracle.com&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&safe=active]rhel6 site:oracle.com[/url]:

So, do you want to move this thread to a CentOS-6 forum and pursue it there, or stay here and do it on 5.7?
