Pre-Install checks for RDBMS

Unix InstallPrep Script
The Unix InstallPrep Script should be run prior to installing the Oracle 8.0.5 to 9.2 DataServer. This script checks for all known items that will cause the install to fail.
Follow these steps to download and run the script:

Change the name of the script to InstallPrep.sh
Ftp the InstallPrep.sh script (in ascii format) to the Unix system that you will be installing the Oracle DataServer on.
Change the permissions of the script to execute for the user running the script:
chmod 777 InstallPrep.sh
Log in as the user that will be installing the Oracle software.
Copy the InstallPrep.sh script to the /tmp directory and run it from this location.
Note: on some Linux platforms you may get the error "bad interpreter", just run the command 'sh InstallPrep.sh' and the try running it. Otherwise, you can try "dos2unix InstallPrep.sh" and then retry it.
Note: on Linux if you get messages like:
'tmp/InstallPrep.sh: line 138: syntax error near unexpected token `in
'tmp/InstallPrep.sh: line 138: `case $OS in
do "dos2unix InstallPrep.sh"
Answer the first few questions, the output from the script will be written to /tmp/InstallPrep.out and the errors written to /tmp/InstallPrep.err.
Resolve any problems found in /tmp/InstallPrep.err and then install the Oracle DataServer software.

Important Note: If you experience difficulties or errors with this script, please do not call Oracle Support or log an iTAR for this issue. Instead, send feedback to RELATED DOCUMENTS
