Oracle Installation on Solaris 10

Hi,

I heard that some centers in Nigeria are having trouble installing Oracle on Solaris 10. I've successfully installed Oracle 10g R2 for Solaris on Solaris 10 Developer edition OS version 5.11.(That's the version that was given on a DVD during the training.)


The trick is simple.

After the configuration of the OS you run your installer with:

1 ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
2 at 64% you get an error concerning creating links if you do not do the following.

Go to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genntab file and edit line 149. Instead of .set .,.+16 which appears there, put .set .,.+32. YOU DO THIS WHILE THE INSTALLER IS RUNNING, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 30% AND 63%.

You still get 1 or 2 errors for, but the installation succeeds and the database works like a brand new engine.

Regards,
Martin.
