Oracle-xe on debian

Posted 2 years, 11 months ago on April 7, 2006 by yerma  Web Development

Have been installing Oracle XE on debian again to try and test a database on 10g to ensure there are no issues and kept being met with the same error when sqlplusing in:

ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

I found a posting on a message board which seemed to be caused by an unmet dependency on bc. A quick run of apt-get install bc followed by an uninstall and reinstall of Oracle soon resolved the matter.

UPDATE: This actually required a dpkg --purge oracle-xe followed by a complete reconfigure.
