Please confirm that you checked Oracle Base Server and C++ Compiler and Tools during the installation of SUSE Linux 11. If not please install these packages before the installation of Oracle Database.

The orarun Package configure the following settings:

i) It sets up a user oracle which is needed to run Oracle databases and creates two groups with the names dba and oinstall.

ii) It makes sure that typical Oracle environment parameters are set. These include ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and others.

iii) It makes sure that kernel parameters are set.
