Some days ago me and Alan spent many hours installing SUSE 10.2 (x86-64) and Oracle XE server. Installing SUSE was no big deal until we started with Oracle XE server. I would like to point out 2 major mistakes we made.
Oracle installation requires libaio library. We assumed that x86-64 version of this library will do the trick, but we where very wrong. Installation was completed with no errors, but when we started to connect to database SQLPLUS kept throwing errors about wrong TNS and stuff. The real solution was in re-installing Oracle XE with 32bit libaio library.
Second rock on out smooth ride was that when installing Suse we didn't think that swap size really matters. We thought that 600MB would be enough but no. Oracle XE demanded that swap size must be at least 804MB. And we started all over again. A whole lot of fun.
P.S when you are in a hurry and you have a rather slow Internet connection, leave SUSE online update on the time when you have nothing else left to do.
