Hello: My appologies if this is the wrong list for this... I've spent some time the past few days trying to get Oracle running on FreeBSD, and I keep getting "out of memory" errors. The box has 512M of memory in it, and has done 3 days of build-world's as a "burn-in" for the ram. I don't think it is a *LACK* of memory issue...Anyway, here's a script file which shows the "symptoms." I guess I should mention that I "cheated" since I couldn't get the installer to install under FreeBSD, so I grabbed a spare disk, loaded RH 6.2, loaded oracle to /oracle, "dumped" /oracle from a Linux promt to tape & restored /oracle on the FreeBSD side. Then I copied the /etc/ora* files and the /usr/local/bin/* files oracle had installed. I made sure those files exist both in /etc /usr/local/bin and in /usr/compat/linux/etc /usr/compat/linux/usr/local/bin. I've tried to get Oracle going from the FreeBSD side with me as the only logged-in user in a vc without X running anywhere. Doesn't work from a gnome-term inside a gnome login... I've also followed (to the letter) the instructions in the handbook for getting Linux version of Oracle running to no avail... Any ideas?? -----------------------8<-CUT-HERE---->8--------------------------- Script started on Sun Jun 10 23:16:59 2001 bash-2.05$ uname -a FreeBSD foo.foo.org 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #7: Fri Jun 8 20:30:35 CDT 2001 root@foo.foo.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/FOO i386 bash-2.05$ su - oracle Password: [oracle@foo oracle]$ sqlplus SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production on Sun Jun 10 23:17:08 2001 (c) Copyright 1999 Oracle Corporation.
