In Oracle Linux 6, it looks like the ‘oracle-validated’ package is missing, but Oracle actually renamed it to ‘oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64‘.
To quickly use the public yum repository of Oracle and install ‘oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64’:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo #vi /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo yum clean all yum repolist yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64
You will get the ‘latest’ build enabled.
If you don’t want this, vi /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo .
Happy installing!
