Do we have anyone on the list who has installed the Oracle database on
a Linux server? I am installing Oracle 9.2 Standard Edition,
software only, on Red Hat 9 and it keeps getting hung. The last few
lines of the log file show -
Calling action unixActions2.2.0.6.0 createLink
source = /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/.java_wrapper
destination = /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/jre
overwriteExistingLink = true
The file cited in the source line above, .java_wrapper, exists. And I
am doing the install under the oracle uid. This is maybe only the
second step in a lengthy install process.
There is nothing happening - no disk activity, no CPU, no nothing; no
extra processes are being spawned. I let it run overnight once and
it was in the very same place. I downloaded new images from Oracle
and got the same result. (That was another over-nighter :-( )
Any clues or pointers as to where to go from here? What else to try?
How to skip this step? Or fake it? Or make it happen independently?
Anything in the Red Hat setup I should check?
Thanks,
