Hi,
Thanks! I'm getting desperate...
So the installation goes on and when the DB assistants tries to create the
database table it always hangs about at 80%.
Ok I saved the next time and went step by step on the shell script that was
created by the DB assistant. I found that it hangs when tries to tries to
start up. The commend in the script is something like "startup nomount
file="...../sqlenglis.ora"
So that's the moment when it waits for 2 min and gives the messaege
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production
SVRMGR> connect internal
Connected.
SVRMGR> startup
ORA-00445: background process "PMON" did not start after 120 seconds
SVRMGR>
here is the oracle bash profile:
#!/bin/bash
# Set the oracle related values
umask 022
ORACLE_OWNER=oracle
ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome1
ORACLE_SID=english
DBA=$ORACLE_BASE/admin
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
NLS_NCHAR=UTF8
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export ORACLE_BASE DBA ORACLE_OWNER ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID NLS_LANG
NLS_NCHAR PA
echo ".profile executed - ORACLE variables are set to env"
I noticed that
>>Add $ORACLE_HOME/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and rerun ldconfig
was not added. I added it and start to reinstall it...
Do you see anything wrong??
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
Istvan Bereti

I have had it installed (both 8.1.6 & 8.1.7) on Mandrake 7.2 and never
had that problem.
What is the exact error text your getting? Post it along with the error
number.
A few ideas -
Make sure that $ORACLE_HOME is set in your environment
Make sure that $ORACLE_HOME/bin is in your path
Add $ORACLE_HOME/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and rerun ldconfig
One or more of the above usualy fix most post install errors.
