Oracle 11g install problem on Ubuntu

oracleoracle-11g-r2Ubuntu

I ran the runInstaller script in the root dir of the extracted zip files. After some pages of the graphical installer it sent me to run

/tmp/CVU_11.2.0.1.0_macbook/runfixup.sh

as root. It gave me the following errors:

# ./runfixup.sh

What shall I do?

Best Answer

a) Use an OS that is certified for installing and running Oracle Database (Ubuntu is not amongst them). Native or virtual machine, your choice.
