If it has to be XE, I can't help.

But if you just want to know how 10g Release 2 on Suse 10 works, then you might find http://dizwell.com/main/content/view/94/142/ of interest

Hello

I've tried to follow the link you posted http://dizwell.com/main/content/view/94/142/ in order to install oracle 10 on suse 10.

I've managed to install the software, with some errors when linking libraries of this kind:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I can't even launch the dbca in order to create a database:

Do you know what the problems can be?

try start the listener

with oracle user !

You might need to open port 1521 in the SuSE Firewall.

Make sure the firewall isn't blocking connections, and also you need to install it with SELinux Disabled.

You should probably take this to the Oracle-XE forums, if you registered XE and have access.
