Hi!

I am trying to install 64bit Oracle 9i DB server on a 64bit solaris 9
box. The universal installer goes through till about 85% (in the Link
phase) and then chokes with a target ioracle failing. I looked through
the log files, and noticed that there were some ld's that were failing
with this message:

ld: fatal: file /dev/zero: mmap anon failed: Resource temporarily
unavailable
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target
`/export/home/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/lib/oracle'

There was a thought that the mmap was failing due to not enough shared
memory, so I set this in etc/system and rebooted.
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295

Still no go... what am I doing wrong?

Any pointers you can provide will be most gratefully appreciated!

Thanks.

followed the install guide and made sure all the patches are installed and
yur environment is ok?

btw the install doesnt use any shared memory

Hi!

Thanks for replying.

I checked the Installation guide - it does not mention Solaris 9. It
does mention 64bit solaris. I also looked at a doc on a website called
dbspecialists that had some docs on the installation process - that did
not mention solaris 9 either...

hi,

How much RAM does your server have. What's the size of your swap
partition?

Whats the available space in your /tmp file system?

Koki

Hi!

Here is the info:

$ /usr/sbin/prtconf | grep size
Memory size: 512 Megabytes
$ /usr/sbin/swap -l
swapfile dev swaplo blocks free
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 136,1 16 4195280 350944
$ /usr/sbin/swap -s
total: 2042944k bytes allocated + 89064k reserved = 2132008k used,
319976k available
$ df -k /tmp
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
swap 2285080 120 2284960 1% /tmp

Reboot your system and try a fresh install. Also ensure you are
pointing to the correct temporary file system which in this case is
/tmp.

Swap partition looks big enough, not much space available though.

Hi!

I have rebooted the machine multiple times, with no effect.

It may be abit cramped for space, but I dont know why that makes mmap
fail with Resource unavailable - I would expect a message like not
enough resources or out of memory...

Just a guess. Show us `ulimit -a`. Try setting your memory limit to
unlimited if it's not. /tmp should have plenty of space. Check that *at
the time* the error occurs, not after it. It may help if you set TMPDIR
to somewhere else so /tmp won't be used too much. Increasing your swap
space should also help.

Yong Huang

$ ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 8192
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 256
vmemory(kbytes) unlimited


I will retry with TMPDIR set to somewhere else.

Try allocating more swap space.
