XD, please come with me and let you install Oracle 10g under Fedora 7. Now I can prove that it is true and there is no problem, because I have already installed it.
1. First try the software preparation. Fedora 7 lacks a lot of things to install oracle. When I install F7, it is still a comprehensive installation, but it still lacks many things. The software required for testing is as follows:
$ Rpm-q gcc make binutils openmotif setarch compat-db
Compat-gcc-c ++ compat-libstdc ++-devel libaio
Gcc-4.1.2-12
Make-3.81-6.fc7
Binutils-2.17.50.0.12-4
Openmotif-2.3.0-0.3.fc7.ccrma
Setarch-2.0-4.fc7
Compat-db-4.3.29-2.fc7
Compat-gcc-8-3.3.4.2
Compat-gcc-c ++-8-3.3.4.2
Compat-libstdc ++-8-3.3.4.2
Compat-libstdc ++ devel-8-3.3.4.2
Libaio-0.3.106-3.2
After I tested it, I lacked a lot of things and then went to Google to search for it. I was relieved that I could find all of them, but they were not very big and easy to find. I just wanted to find the RPM, there are not many related things, so it is easy to implement. It took me about an hour, not too long. This is the case for linux installation. This is simple, it takes a long time to compile the source code. It is easier to use RPM or YUM.
2. To prepare an account, add a user to Oracle as follows:
Run the following command as the root user:
Create a user:
#/Usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
#/Usr/sbin/groupadd dba
#/Usr/sbin/useradd-m-g oinstall-G dba oracle
Set the password for the oracle account:
# Passwd oracle
Create directory:
# Mkdir-p/opt/oracle
# Mkdir-p/opt/oracle/oradata
# Chown-R oracle: oinstall/opt/oracle/oradata
# Chmod-R 775/opt/oracle/oradata
