  Hi,
  I am Trying Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Linux Red Hat 9
  I am following instruction on puschitz.com.
  
  Things went fine during installtion as i proceed as per puschitz's instructions
  However at the i faced some problem.
  and i badly seek your advice and help on that
  
  Below is list of activities i done for this..
  
  Checked Memory
  grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo : found proper
  
  Checked Swap space
  cat /proc/swaps : found proper
  
  set Shared Memory
  echo "kernel.shmmax=2147483648" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
  
  checked the space in /tmp
  $ df /tmp : found adequate
  
  Oracle Disk Space
  /oradir mount point with 3GB space
  
  checked Development Packages
  rpm -q gcc cpp compat-libstdc++ glibc-devel glibc-kernheaders binutils
  
  Created Oracle user Account
  su - root
  groupadd dba # group of users to be granted with SYSDBA system privilege
  groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
  useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
  passwd oracle
  
  Created Oracle Directories
  su - root
  mkdir /oradir/oracle
  mkdir /oradir/oracle/product
  mkdir /oradir/oracle/product/9.2.0
  chown -R oracle.oinstall /oradir/oracle
  
  Following not created as i was not having /var mount point
  mkdir /var/opt/oracle
  chown oracle.dba /var/opt/oracle
  chmod 755 /var/opt/oracle
  
  
  Added Following Environment variables in .bash_profiles of oracle user and confirmed by relogging and 'set' as well as echo
  export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
  
  export ORACLE_BASE=/oradir/oracle
  export ORACLE_HOME=/oradir/oracle/product/9.2.0
  export ORACLE_SID=SAKET
  export ORACLE_TERM=xterm
  export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN;
  export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
  
  CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
  CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib
  export CLASSPATH
  
  Now, i relogged in and checked environment variables are proper
  
  put CD 1 Of 3 ->the OUI started Properly
  ORacle Home Name : j
  Oracle Home Path : /oradir/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0 (was selected by default)
  
  Privileged Operating System Groups :dba (i kept the default)
  Oracle Managent Server Repository: New i selected
  Create database : No
  
  
  The Error1 (resolved finally)
  "Error in invoking target install of makefile /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk"
  adding "`cat $(LIBHOME)/sysliblist`" string to $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk and clicking 'Retry' resolved it
  INSO_LINK = -L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m `cat $(LIBHOME)/sysliblist` $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ex $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_da $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ut $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ch $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fi $(LLIBCTXHX) $(LDLIBFLAG)c -Wl,-rpath,$(CTXHOME)lib $(CORELIBS) $(COMPEOBJS)
  
  Then
  Database Creation complete successful
  Link Successful
  Network Services Successful
  
  Then Error2 (unresolved)
  the attemp to create a database for the enterprise manager repository failed, because:
  The command:
  "/oradir/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/bin/dbca -
  progress_only -emca_interrnal -createDatabase -
  templateName Transaction_Processing.dbc -
  gdbName OEMREP.localdomain -sid OEMREP"
  RETURNED STATUS: 137
  
  
  Here i finished installation thinking that i will go for OEM stuff later point of time.
  
  Then Error3 (unresolved)
  then tried to start dbca
  dbca
  SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
  stackbase stackpointer
  Full thread:
  ..
  ..
  ..
  /oradir/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/bin/dbca: line 124: 3170 killed $JRE_DIR/bin/jre -DORACLE_HOME=$OH -DJDBC_PROTOCOL=thin -mx64m -classpath $CLASSPATH..........
  oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca $ARGUMENTS
  
  I executed the ipcs command to get the address of the shared memory segments that have been allocated by Oracle:
  $ su - root
  # ipcs
  
  But there was no entry with 'oracle' as owner name.
  
  Then Error4 (unresolved)
  
  Then Tried lsnrctl
  lsnrctl status
  .. Got an error
  According to puschitz.com
  
  su - root
  mkdir /var/tmp/.oracle
  chown oracle:dba /var/tmp/.oracle
  Now try to run lsnrctl start as oracle again.
  But i do not have /var
  What tyo do here?
  
  
  Here i am stuck up, i struggled a lot last few days.
  success seems closer but how to get it.
  
  Here again i need your advice
  puschitz.com asks for patches for RH As not for RH. so how to proceed are any patches required for RH 9 also or same as RH AS.
  if yes can you help me in getting URL, i am trying at home, no metalink registration available.
  
  Thanks in advance
