Installing Oracle r12: Oracle Installed?
The following i386 packages are not part of the OS distribution media and must be downloaded separately (from http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux for both OEL 5 and RHEL 5) and installed manually:
- openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i3861
- xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386
- binutils-2.17.50.0.6-6.0.1.i3862
The Openmotif RPM gave an error: libXp.so.6 is needed by openmotif-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386
I guess when I installed Linux that RPM was never installed. That RPM is located on the Oracle Enterprise Linux CD 3, /Server/libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.i386.rpm

Installing Oracle r12: On To Linux!
I downloaded the Oracle Enterprise Linux distribution, and Linux E-Business r12 installer from Oracle. I am sure RCN Cable loves that I have now downloaded over 100 GB in the last 4 days. After my Windows Server 2003 debacle, I decided to run the Windows Vista recovery CDs I made to reinstall Vista the way it came from Gateway. That way I would know the exact network drivers and such.
Installing Oracle r12: Oracle is CRAZY!
Installing Oracle in Windows Server 2003 has not been easy thus far. After all my tests passed last time, I started the instillation. To my udder shock, and amazement, the install FAILED again! Actually I was not too terribly shocked. I expected it really.
