Hi!

I tried to install Oracle9i on FreeBSD 4.9 using
clues from shadowcom.net . The installation (without
database creation) seems to be successful (no error
message). however, when I try to connect to the DB
(using sqlplus '/ as sysdba'), I get the following
error message:

ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact

I checked my kernel config and it seems correct. Here
is an extract of my kernel config:

options         SYSVSHM                 #SYSV-style shared memory
options         SYSVMSG                 #SYSV-style message queues
options         SYSVSEM                 #SYSV-style semaphores

options         SHMMAXPGS=65536
options         SHMMNI=4096
options         SHMSEG=4096
options         SEMMNS=32000
options         SEMMNI=128
options         SEMMSL=250


Did someone achieve to install Oracle 9i on FreeBSD 4.9? If yes,
could you please post some clues? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Willy
