There are some OS preparation steps to be performed before installing database on linux.
Pls refer the Master Note ID : 851598.1 and complete all the steps specified in the note as per your OS.
In the present article, i am using the OEL 5.4 (32-bit) as OS and following the note id : 880936.1 to complete all the preparatory steps for 11gR2 database creation.
Create the required user and groups for the installation
Required RPMs installation :
Make sure that the following RPMs are installed,
NOTE :
rpm -qa | grep -i <rpm name> ==> to check if the rpm is installed or not
rpm -ivh <rpm name> ==> to install rpm
rpm -e <rpm name> ==> to remove package from the OS
In my OS following four RPMs are not installed.
libaio-devel-0.3.106-3.2.i386.rpm
sysstat-7.0.2-1.el5.i386.rpm
unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
Session Log :
Following files should be modified as per the following session log:
/etc/security/limits.conf
/etc/pam.d/login
/etc/profile
/etc/sysctl.conf ==> Can be modified while installing using OUI.
Session Log
Make sure the following versions are verified.
Finally add the following entries in the oracle user profile ( .bash_profile )
Now the OS is ready for installing 11gR2 database.
Hope it helps

In the present article, i am using the OEL 5.4 (32-bit) as OS and following the note id : 880936.1 to complete all the preparatory steps for 11gR2 database creation.
Create the required user and groups for the installation
- groupadd -g 1000 oinstall
- groupadd -g 1200 dba
- useradd -u 1100 -g oinstall -G dba oracle
- mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
- chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app
- chmod -R 775 /u01/app
Required RPMs installation :
Make sure that the following RPMs are installed,
- binutils-2.17.50.0.6-2.el5
- compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61
- elfutils-libelf-0.125-3.el5

- libstdc++-4.1.2-42
- make-3.81-1.1
- elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125-3.el5.i386.rpm
- a.requires elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.125-3.el5.i386.rpm as a prerequisite.
- b.elfutils-libelf-devel and elfutils-libelf-devel-static each depend upon the other. Therefore, they must be installed together, in one (1"rpm -ivh" command as follows:
- rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125-3.el5.i386.rpm elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.125-3.el5.i386.rpm
- kernel-headers-2.6.18-92.el5.i386.rpm

- libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm
- libgomp-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm
- gcc-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm
- gcc-c++-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm
- libaio-devel-0.3.106-3.2.i386.rpm
- sysstat-7.0.2-1.el5.i386.rpm
- unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
- unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
NOTE :
rpm -qa | grep -i <rpm name> ==> to check if the rpm is installed or not
rpm -ivh <rpm name> ==> to install rpm
rpm -e <rpm name> ==> to remove package from the OS
In my OS following four RPMs are not installed.
