Installing Oracle7 Workgoup SCO Server on Linux platform

Hi,

   Thomas gave a very good step by step procedure to install Oracle
on Linux without using SCO files (some ).  But I have some problem
(I think it is nothing to do with the script he posted ) .  My problem
is,

   When I try to decompress the files, ex.
     oiuncomp ->  used to uncompress the file (got from the
                        SCO oracle CD )
     adapters_  -> compressed file, I am tring to decompress it.

$oiuncomp adapters_

// I got the following error message....

   I am running 1.3.20 kernel.  Please help me out of this problem.  
Since I don't have the required SCO files, I have to follow this
procedure to install oracle.  

    Thanks a lot in advance.

Prabha.

 
 
 

1. Installing Oracle7 Workgroup SCO Server on Linux platform

Hi there,

To install the Oracle 7 server on a Linux platform,
I've been following the procedure in the 'oracle_on_linux.html'
it is written by Georg Rehfeld and can be picked up from quite a few
sites.
I've tried the installation on the free 90 day trial CD (order from
Oracle part C10301), but no luck.
First of all I got iBCS running, enabling me to run SCO SVR3 type
binaries on a Linux platform.

To install the SCO binaries,
I start of start.sh in /cdrom/sco/server/orainst, which calls
the cd_link program (also in this dir) and get an error from this
cd_link program :
'Unable to open file /cdrom/sco/server/YMTRANS.TBL;1!'
Actually the cd_link program uses YMTRANS.TBL files to do it's job.
(The file date of cd_link is april 13 1995, size 56408 bytes.)
Does anyone know what this could be ??
Also a few other SCO binaries are necessary for installation:
/bin/idar (archiver)
/bin/idas (assembler)
/bin/idld (linker)
/lib/idcpp (preprocessor)
/lib/idcomp (compiler)
Does anyone know where I could get them from...?

Some more possible hurdles:
trying to start a SCO binary (whilst iBSC is running!) in xwindows,
like 'usermgr' will give the error message :'Cannot open display: 0.0'
However interfacing with the server can possibly be done on a remote
computer running Personal Oracle 7 Workgroup/2000 on Windows95,
(another free 90 day trial CD, order from Oracle, partnr: C10622).

Anyway, happy hunting,
