unknown user oracle

Couldn't find package lib

Please help.

You might be able to just add a user with "sudo adduser oracle". As for missing "lib" was it "lib-something" or just lib?

It was originally libaio1 but I found a script to install that package. Is this seperate or related.

Thanks for your help.

Looks like it's related in the sense that it concerns databases; hope that helps. Visit
http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/libaio1
for more, but to quote from the page:

libaio1 - This library enables userspace to use kernel asynchronous I/O system calls, important for the performance of databases and other advanced applications.
