On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), libstdc++.so.5, required by Oracle is replaced by .6. To fix:
1) add the following repository: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty universe
2) install libstdc++5 and run the install of Oracle
3) reinstall libstdc++6 (otherwise such apps as ooffice get broken)

Guys I’d like to know whether is there anyway in which I could install iSQL*PLus on top of Oracle 10g. I desperately need to use iSQL*Plus.

Thank you, thank you.
This page helped me alot, since Im in the middle of installing oracle at school.

Although Im running 10g and Karmic.

Your other tuts are not as wellwritten as this one, imho. Thats why i chosed this one over those…

And my teacher said it couldn’t be done. Ha, this page shut him up…

Thank you very very very much…

Hi all,
A great introduction – when do you get the time to write things up :)
I am a firebirder about to play with oracle. Can I install oracle on my home server – ubuntu 8.04 – and get to it from win boxes elsewhere on the network?
There is no gui on the server – it just serves very well

@bilal,

You probably want to install package libaio1 – without that one, dbca won’t run. On step 7 you need to add the lines mentioned to each file (as those lines are usually not present on a standard Linux distribution). May I suggest you take a look at newer versions of this tutorial? Just check out http://www.pythian.com/news/

Cheers!

hi.
on step 7 i did not find these lines which u mentioned in the step….so if we have to add them by ourselves.

hi.
i am new to ubuntu and oracle 11g.i treied to install the oracle but on the very first step…to install packages….i got the following msg:
root@bilal-desktop:/home/bilal# apt-get install gcc make binutils lesstif2 libc6 libc6-dev rpm libmotif3 libaio libstdc++5 gawk alien libg++2.8.1.3-glibc2.2 ksh gcc-3.3 g++-3.3 libstdc++5
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
gcc is already the newest version.
make is already the newest version.
binutils is already the newest version.
libc6 is already the newest version.
libc6-dev is already the newest version.
Package libaio is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libaio1
E: Package libaio has no installation candidate
in which Package libaio is said not available so i do not know…can i able to install oracle without this package……..plz help me out…..i am waiting for the replay..
thanks
