The behaviour was so wierd! I was following to the letter linuxeme-oracle.html from the handbook. I had do much more than is in the HOWTO.....I guess once I succeed I will try to write down all steps (without the tech details of course because I don't have the strength to go against Marcell ;-)=20 One of the few things one has to do is to add a group called 'dba' and add oracle user you created to this group. Again you have some mount points to create in $ORACLE_BASE ... _and_ there is a file in /orainst/bin called gensyslib in which you have to add a /bin so that cat is /bin/cat. Instead of patching the files as in the HOWTO, I was installing from the CD so I just made symlinks to chown and chgrp to the location where the oracle scripts would thing they are. So far I have a failure which I hope someone has an idea about: This was=20 quite later into the install.

"Deep" is a word like "theory" or "semantic" -- it implies all sorts of marvelous things. It's one thing to be able to say "I've got a theory", quite another to say "I've got a semantic theory", but, ah, those who can claim "I've got a deep semantic theory", they are truly blessed. -- Randy Davis --Yylu36WmvOXNoKYn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE65aSsn7LIsuxjem8RAr/QAKC4hPBlZBC5gN4Hscaq9X9NDFIdFwCfbYjl VuL0rgae4Bd8rGH1Mq/m05M= =oaFX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Yylu36WmvOXNoKYn-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
