Before you install an Oracle Database 10g you need to check the system for required RPMs. On my systems I usually install a minimum list of RPMs which usually requires the installation of additional packages for Oracle databases. Always ensure to use the latest RPMs and kernels!
For 10g R2 (64-bit) on RHEL 4 x86_64,
binutils-2.15.92.0.2-10.EL4Also ensure to install the libaio-0.3.96 RPM or a newer version! Otherwise the OUI prerequisite check will fail.
compat-db-4.1.25-9
control-center-2.8.0-12
gcc-3.4.3-9.EL4
gcc-c++-3.4.3-9.EL4

make-3.80-5
pdksh-5.2.14-30
sysstat-5.0.5-1
xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2
To check if you are running the x86_64 kernel on a x86_64 platform, run:
# uname -mi
x86_64 x86_64
To check the RPMs, run: rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n' \
binutils compat-db control-center gcc gcc-c++ glibc glibc-common gnome-libs \
libstdc++ libstdc++-devel make pdksh sysstat xscreensaver libaio
It is important to have these x86_64 RPMs installed. The above command will list the architecture of each binary package. You will see that some RPMs are installed twice when you run this command (x86 RPM and x86_64 RPM). You need to ensure that all required x86-64 RPMs listed here are installed.For 10g R2 (32-bit) on RHEL 4 x86,
binutils-2.15.92.0.2-10.EL4Also ensure to install the libaio-0.3.96 RPM or a newer version! Otherwise the OUI prerequisite check will fail.

It is important to have the right x86 and x86_64 RPMs installed. The above command will list the architecture of each binary package. And as you can see in the above list, glibc-devel and other RPMs are listed twice. This means that you have to install packages for both architectures, x86 and x86_64.For 10g R1 (32-bit) on RHEL 3 x86, package versions or higher:
make-3.79.1To check the RPMs, run:
gcc-3.2.3-34
glibc-2.3.2-95.20
compat-db-4.0.14-5
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128

openmotif21-2.1.30-8
setarch-1.3-1
rpm -q make gcc glibc compat-db compat-gcc compat-gcc-c++ compat-libstdc++ compat-libstdc++-devel openmotif21 setarch
For 10g R1 (32-bit) on RHEL 2.1, package versions or higher:
make-3.79.1To check these RPMs, run:
glibc-2.2.4-32
gcc-2.96-128
gcc-c++-2.96-128
libstdc++-2.96-128
openmotif-2.1.30-11
rpm -q make glibc gcc gcc-c++ libstdc++ openmotif
The installation of an Oracle 10g Database worked fine without installing any compatibility RPMs (e.g. compat-gcc, compat-libstdc++). However, since it's listed as a requirement for RHEL 3 I'd recommend to install it on RHEL3 and on newer releases as well. It's not a requirement for RHEL 2.1 though.
For RHEL 3 and RHEL 2.1 it is also important to have binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12 or a newer version installed. Make sure you have the binutils RPM installed on other releases as well like Fedora Core:
rpm -q binutils
NOTE: OUI for x86 will also complain if the openmotif package is missing (don't confuse it with the openmotif21 package). Also, Red Hat changed the version naming schema from openmotif-2.2.2-16 in the original release to openmotif-2.2.3-5.RHEL3.2 in RHEL3 Update 5. This seems to confuse OUI in RHEL3 U5 since it complaining that it can't find the right openmotif version. I ignored this. The openmotif-2.2.3-5.RHEL3.2 is just a newer version of openmotif-2.2.2-16 which worked fine and I didn't have any problems. To check the RPM, run: rpm -q openmotif
Also, make sure the redhat-release package is installed. Earlier versions of e.g. RHEL 3 didn't install it by default when you selected a minimum system installation: rpm -q redhat-release
The setarch utility is new in RHEL4, RHEL3 and Fedora Core. It is used to tell the kernel to report a different architecture than the current one. It is also used to emulate a 3GB virtual address space for applications that don't run properly with a larger virtual address space. To check the RPM, run: rpm -q setarch
Installing the RPMs
10g R2 on RHEL AS 4 (x86_64)
On my RHEL AS 4 x86_64 system I installed the following RPMs and dependencies:

For more information on this bug, see Quick SEARCH ENGINE IN THE TOP .I don't know why the control-center RPM and the xscreensaver RPM are listed as requirements. On my system I did not install these RPMs since I'm against installing desktop stuff on servers, see list below. When I installed 10g R2 I did not experience any problems when these RPMs were missing. But just for completeness I've listed all the RPMs you may have to install if you want to install the control-center and xscreensaver RPMs unless you ignore dependencies:

I don't know why the control-center RPM and the xscreensaver RPM are listed as requirements. On my system I did not install these RPMs since I'm against installing desktop stuff on servers. When I installed 10g R2 I did not experience any problems when these RPMs were missing. When you want to install control-center RPM and the xscreensaver, then have fun. The list can be very long with all the dependencies like gnome-desktop, cdrecord etc..10g R1 on RHEL AS 4 (x86_64)
NOTE: No certification has been projected for 10g R1 64-bit on RHEL AS 4 (x86_64) at the time of this writing.

10g R1 on RHEL AS 4 (x86)
On my RHEL AS 4 x86 system I had to install the following RPMs and dependencies to meet the software requirements:

Note that the 10g 10.1.0.3 OUI Product-specific Prerequisite check will fail for the gcc, binutils, and openmotif versions. You can ignore these failed checks and proceed.The redhat-release RPM should already be installed by default. But note that 10.1.0.3.0 OUI does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release yet. This means you will have to edit the /etc/redhat-release file, see below, or you apply the 4153257 patch for 10g R1 on RHEL 4. 10g R2 does recognise RHEL AS 4 as a supported platform.

I had to upgrade glibc in order to pass Oracle's "Product-specific Prerequisite" checks. Oracle's recommended glibc version is 2.2.4.31.7 or higher.There is no setarch RPM for RHEL AS 2.1.
Also, it's important to install a newer kernel version for RHEL AS 2.1. Definitely don't use a kernel older than 2.4.9-e.25. To check the kernel version run uname -r. For more information on upgrading the kernel, see Quick Search Engine In the TOP.

On my FC4 system I had to install the following RPMs and dependencies to meet the software requirements:
rpm -Uvh gcc-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm \
cpp-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm \
glibc-devel-2.3.5-10.i386.rpm \

rpm -Uvh libaio-0.3.104-2.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh selinux-policy-targeted-1.25.2-4.noarch.rpm
NOTE: I also had to patch the SELinux policy by upgrading the selinux-policy-targeted RPM. You can download the latest version from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/. If you don't upgrade to a newer version you will get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/OraInstall2005-07-24_09-03-19AM/jre/1.4.2/lib/i386/libawt.so:
/tmp/OraInstall2005-07-24_09-03-19AM/jre/1.4.2/lib/i386/libawt.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
You could also disable SELinux which I don't recommend. For more information, search in The quick search Engine.10g R1 on Fedora Core 3 (x86)
On my FC3 system I had to install the following RPMs and dependencies to meet the software requirements:
rpm -Uvh gcc-3.4.2-6.fc3.i386.rpm \

rpm -Uvh setarch-1.6-1.i386.rpm
The gcc version that comes with FC3 will not pass Oracle's "Product-specific Prerequisite" checks. I ignored this warning on FC3.10g R1 on Fedora Core 1 (x86)
On my FC1 system I had to install the following RPMs and dependencies to meet the software requirements:
rpm -Uvh gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm \

rpm -Uvh openmotif-2.2.2-16.1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh setarch-1.0-1.i386.rpm
FC1 is not supported by Oracle and you will have a hard time to find the right RPM version for Oracle10g. I tried to use the RPMs that came with the FC1 CDs which are easily available to everyone. I did not had any problems installing an Oracle Database 10g (General Purpose Database) on FC1 with these RPMs.10g R1 on Red Hat 9 (x86)
On my RH9 system I had to install the following RPMs and dependencies to meet the software requirements:
rpm -Uvh openmotif-2.2.2-14.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh gcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm \
glibc-devel-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm \

glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.10.i386.rpm \
binutils-2.13.90.0.18-9.i386.rpm
There is no setarch RPM for RH9. RH9 is not supported by Oracle.Checking/Updating the redhat-release File
Verify that the redhat-release RPM is installed on your Red Hat system:
rpm -q redhat-releaseThis RPM is important for RHEL since RHEL AS 4, RHEL AS 3, and RHEL AS 2.1 are Linux releases supported by Oracle. Without this RPM, Oracle 10g OUI won't be able to recognize it as a supported OS. However, the installer of 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release yet. This means that you will have to edit the /etc/redhat-release file. You also have to change /etc/redhat-release for unsupported releases like Fedora Core and RH9.
I do not recommend to execute "runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" since this will disable other checks you probably don't want to.
On RHEL AS 4 (for 10g R1), RH9, and FC 1 you have to change the /etc/redhat-release file to make Oracle 10g believe it's running on a supported release.
Regarding RHEL AS 4, the installer for 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release but 10g R2 OUI does.
To change the /etc/redhat-release file, you can simply copy/paste the following commands:
su - rootAfter you are done with the Oracle10g installation, undo the changes you made to /etc/redhat-release:
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig
cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
EOF
su - rootNOTE: On FC3 you don't have to edit /etc/redhat-release since the OUI is not very clever. If OUI finds e.g. digit number "3" in the /etc/redhat-release file, you pass the "operating system version" check since it believes it's a RHEL3 system.
cp /etc/redhat-release.orig /etc/redhat-release
