I have been encountering a number of errors while trying to install Oracle 8 on FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE. I have followed instructions from both http://www.lf.net/lf/pi/oracle/install-linux-oracle-on-freebsd and http://www.scc.nl/~marcel/howto-oracle.html. The errors that I am getting have to do with the unix.stp file in ~/unpackdir/orainst/. The most common error are ones which say (for example): An operating system error occurred while trying to spawn 'touch /etc/oratab' while redirecting output to ''. (No such file or directory.) The problem lies not with the touching of the file, but with the "redirecting output to..." And no, you cannot perform the Oracle installation as root. I've gotten past it on one occasion by editing the unix.stp file, but I am guessing that there is something simple that is wrong with the way I am trying to install. Here's the lowdown: oracle user: oracle oracle grp: dba unpackdir: /home/oracle/oracle I am running orainst while logged in as user oracle. All files in the unpackdir are chowned oracle:dba All kernel mods have been made and linux emulation is running. Any suggestions or help would be mucho appreciated...the longevity of running only FreeBSD machines at the company depends on getting Oracle installed.
