your have not enough swap space

seems to be an fedora installation issue, not an oracle issue.

what shows the output of df -a?

Code:

Here is a good website that I used to install Oracle 11g on Fedora 10:

http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/...OnFedora10.php

It walks you through the entire process.

Hope this helps!

please can anyone help me in that issue ?

for what purposes do you install the oracle database?

bd54338rre · #9 11th January 2009, 05:31 PM

http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/...stallation.php

Code:

10  make sure the swap partition is at least 2G (2048M) in size. Once you are happy with the partition structure, click the "Next" button followed by the "Write changes to disk" button.

so it's a swap-space problem

Code:

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 80 MB. Actual 16638 MB Passed
Checking swap space: 0 MB available, 150 MB required. Failed <<<<
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 16777216 Passed

i am afraid there os NO swap space

Installing Oracle is not a simple thing. It is technical. I am also new to Linux also and I was able to do it using this article. Just thought it may help. It definitely help me.

Hi, Currently I have some problem when installing oracle 10g to my fedora 8 64 bit . When I finished my installation, and on configuration assistants it show error below :

UnsatisfiedLinkError exception loading native library: njni10

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: jniGetOracleHome
at oracle.net.common.NetGetEnv.jniGetOracleHome(Nativ e Method)
at oracle.net.common.NetGetEnv.getOracleHome(Unknown Source)
at oracle.net.ca.NetCA.main(Unknown Source)
Oracle Net Services configuration failed. The exit code is -1

Please let me know if there is any clue or solution for this kind of matter .

Thank you

Hello Venetrius,

I didn't run into this but THIS seems to be a library issue. Have look at the Ora installation manual at wiki.gentoo.org.

If I remember right Ora10 is still dependent on linuxthreads and we have NPTL.

As I said, I didn't hit this and the said above is just a thought.

Happy Oracling
Frank
