I’ve received lots mail regarding this issue. A typical question
How do I install Oracle on Redhat or Suse Linux? Howto configure Oracle along with few DBA questions.
First, Oracle goes very well with Redhat / Oracle Linux or Suse Linux. Don’t try other disto. Other distro may work but it requires some expertise. Personally I have installed Oracle on RHEL 4 and Suse Linux as well as few Debian boxes.
Installation is really easy if you follow official installation guide. I’m not going to write instructions here but following resources should help anyone:
Official Oracle-on-Linux Installation Docs

It is one of the best resource for Oracle 9/10 installation.

Oracle XE on Ubuntu is pretty simple to install and use.
hy,
i am using SuSe 10.2 linux with desktop GNOME.
when i doubleclick the runInstaller script it doesn’t run.When i run it from console i get the error message saying ‘…lib.so’ error.What is this library referencing.Is it for gcc compiler or Java Library.It’wasn’t problem with KDE.But due to lot’s of memory that KDE consumes i prefer GNOME.I download the 3 iso images from novell.com
Please help me sorting out this problem and how to run DBCA after installing.Give me the list of all necessary libraries.
Thank you
you have to do ./runInstaller
And you should have the necessary libraries also.
Using Yast, Go to Softwares Installation > check Oracle base, Code Base , C/ C++ compilers.
It creates a Oracle user.
# vi /etc/passwd
change the shell for Oracel user from false to bash.
Reset password for oracle
# passwd oracle
Log off and log in with oracle
and do ./runInstaller
