Oracle in a Parallel World
So after 3.5 hours and some tears and gin I finally have Oracle working within Fedora 8 within Parallels. I did go down to 10g as 11g kept freezing.
So as usual with Oracle making sure you have all the required installed packages. After searching around I found this blog finally cracked it
Which recommends you install the following for CentOs. I presumed you need the same for Fedora and the installation worked.
yum install libXp
Got the installer working and then
yum -y install compat-libstdc++-296.i386 \
compat-libstdc++-33.i386 \
elfutils-libelf-devel.i386 \
glibc-devel.i386 \
glibc-headers.i386 \
gcc.i386 \
gcc-c++.i386 \
libaio-devel.i386 \
sysstat.i386 \
unixODBC.i386 \
unixODBC-devel.i386
Seemed to get me through the install and db creation. I logged in and all seems well - Phew.
Tons of stuff on the web about system parameters .
So why did I do this again? Oh yes no f*cking support for Mac.....
It looks like there are a few posts out there on how to run the Oracle
version for 10.3.9 on 10.4. It has to do with setting gcc to the 'old'
version of 10.3.9 and compiling / relinking some stuff that way. But I
never tried myself.
Upgrading to Leopard again and then finding I could not get Oracle running
so needing to revert back to Tiger on my G5 would have blasted my ability
to work at home. Now I can upgrade and see if I can get it working at me
convenience. :-)
