Installing Oracle on Fedora 5

I will be grateful if you could help me with installing Oracle 10g Version 2 on Fedora 5. I have met all the pre-requisites. But still, the installation reaches 62% and hangs at linking.

Can you help?

I have suffered like you have. Fortunately I found help from http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnFedora5.php. There is a file gennttab which gets created during installation, right before installation moves into linking phase.  You need to replace

LIB=`$ECHO ${TtoLIB}  | $SED 's/ /\\
/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
INI=`$ECHO ${TtoINI}  | $SED 's/ /\\
/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
BAS=`$ECHO ${TtoBAS} | $SED 's/ /\\
/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`

with
# To this...
LIB=`$ECHO ${TtoLIB}  | $SED 's/ /\n/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
INI=`$ECHO ${TtoINI}  | $SED 's/ /\n/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`
BAS=`$ECHO ${TtoBAS} | $SED 's/ /\n/g' | $GREP "^${T}:" | $AWK -F: '{print $2}'`

It was nice to see that installation moved past 62%.   In fact you can download the correct gennttab file from http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/53. Then write a script to scan the  directory $ORACLE_HOME/bin for appearance of gennttab file. As soon as the file appears, you must replace it with the doctored one. That will make the installation go very smoothely.
