[gentoo-user] Oracle 10 or 11...

2008-12-10 Thread Steve
I am interested in the possibility of running a small-scale oracle
server for some experimental development work.  Ideally, I'd install on
gentoo - as this is my server box... though I guess there may be hoops
through which I must jump...

I found this:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/HOWTO_Install_Oracle_10g

But it isn't in English... or, I think, up to date.  Is there a howto
for a currently available oracle download I can follow?  Does anyone on
this list run oracle on their Gentoo install?

you can try this one: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Install_Oracle_10g

I think I used the one that is lost (but this one looks very much like it) to 
install Oracle 11R1 and it works, needed to do some modifications but seem to 
have lost the file... it had something to do with linking against libclient

I used this how-to as a rough guideline a few years ago when I setup a 
test server on Gentoo. It's RHEL based, but isn't too hard to adapt to 
Gentoo... IIRC the lib-compat stuff was the only thing I needed to do 
... and the path stuff was annoying as well. He also includes some 
tuning stuff for actually using the db which is nice.
