I've managed to install Oracle and get it running under Debian Woody the
following way:
To run the Oracle installer you need the package locales installed,
else the installer segfaults.
Make the following entry in /etc/locale.gen:
en_US iso-8859-1
Run locale-gen
Create the following symlinks:
ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.s0
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.s0.2
Oracle needs some kernelparameters set differently, the database
configuration assistent that you can start at the end of the installaton
will hang if kernel.shmmax is to small
Seen the Oracle install pdf's for these parameters.
On Suse's website there is a section for Oracle, download orarun9i.rpm
from here.
This rpm contains scripts to start and stop oracle during system start/stop.
This script needs some changes to run on Debian, this script will also
set the needed kernel parameters to run Oracle.
(maybe it's handy to create a separate boot script from this script that
sets the needed kernel parameters before you do the install)
While the Oracle installer is running it will place a script named
genclntsh in the oracle bin directory.
This script need to be modified so Oracle can find the linker: (all on
one line)
SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -L/usr/lib/gcc-
lib/i386-linux/2.95.4 -lgcc -ldl -lm -lc /lib/ld-linux.so.2"
The Oracle installer is a graphical java-based installer you will need
to start the installer from an x-term window.
