Harv, This is a decent link: http://staff.in2.hr/denis/oracle/10g1install_fedora1_en.html This guide specifically covers installing Oracle 10G on Fedora, which is the extension of Red Hat Linux open source project, of course. Aside from this, Fedora has the yum command (similar to Solaris pkg-get utility) that is very useful for viewing and updating installed packages: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware I should mention I have also leveraged the Red Hat Network Alert Notification Tool 2.1.2, similar to the "Windows Update" utility offering a desktop GUI providing all the functionality of rpm, yum, or, in the case of Solaris, pkg-get. I am generally a recluse these days but felt inspired to toss you this mediocre assist. Also, I in using the above Fedora utilities I have experienced similar issues with potentially corrupt/unsigned packages, etc. Time to return to GTA Vice City, my real passion. Ellis PS Oracle 10G is not yet certified on Fedora but I have been running it for several months without any issues although this very minor "hack" is required to fool the OUI: ...have to make Oracle installer think that we have one of the supported distributions: Create a backup of your /etc/redhat-release file, an change its contents: # cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig # echo "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)" > /etc/redhat-release -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Harvinder Singh Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 10:06 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: oracle 10g --linux install issues Hi, I have to install oracle 10g on red hat linux and one of the pre-steps in docs is to update packages by running following command but I am getting error: [root@localhost root]# rpm -Uvh gcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm cpp-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.10.i386.rpm binutils-2.13.90.0.18-9.i386.rpm warning: gcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e error: glibc-devel-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm cannot be installed error: glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.10.i386.rpm cannot be installed error: binutils-2.13.90.0.18-9.i386.rpm cannot be installed How can I fixed this issue?
