Install Oracle 10gR2 XE on ubuntu 11.04

[Burfee]

Hello,

Has anyone managed to install the oracle 10g xe server on ubuntu 11.04? I previously installed it on ubuntu 10.10 following this (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-oracle-10g-xe-in-64-bit-ubuntu.html) instructions, but now i am having problems when doing the same thing on ubuntu 11.04.


burfee@burfee:~/Downloads/Oracle 10gXE$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)

Hi,

I also had this issue and fixed it today. Extract the deb file, open Oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386/DEBIAN/control and remove the dependency for libc6 so you end up with:

Depends: libaio (>= 0.3.96) | libaio1 (>= 0.3.96)

Then cd to the directory that contains the extracted folders and do a dpkg-deb --build oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386 && sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb

Hope this helps, worked for me :D

hope this helps
