Hi Matt, running oracle 9.2.0.4 on crux-1.3 here, not testen on crux-2.0 or anything else, compat-libs as of crux-1.3 are sufficient, as oracle has not changed, this will rather not have changed too... installation is somewhat ugly as there is no recommended installation path on crux of course, i would suggest you to try to setup oracle9i on crux-1.3 with anything but gcc/glibc and kernel updated to acutal ports tree as we do here. after this and having found out what oracle is expecting in farious environment variables to allow installation - running an allready installed and setup instance is much easier, the java installer seems to be the pickiest part of the whole thing... i would go on and try whith recent kernel and glibc. the only real issues i can think of are the installer, glibc and gcc worries and somewhat kernel specific tuning, anything else should work just fine. happy hacking /Hans ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Housh" <jaeger@morpheus.net> To: <crux@fukt.bth.se> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 5:13 PM Subject: CRUX 2.1 and Oracle 9iR2
Greetings, all.
Is anyone successfully running Oracle 9iR2 (between 9.2.0.1 and 9.2.0.6) on a CRUX 2.1 system? I'd like to set up a test machine for work running CRUX rather than Red Hat Enterprise. The application server and related software requires (at this time) Oracle Enterprise Edition 9.2.0.X, so while 10g might be easier to get running, it's not an option in this case.
I'm willing to start working on compat libraries and the like to get this running, just wanted to know if anyone else already has before I spend a lot of time on it. There has been limited mention of oracle on CRUX in the past on this list but no concrete details. Also, as I understand it, the installation was only viable on pre-2.0 versions of CRUX at the time, which I'd like to change.
Thanks, Matt
