installing Oracle SES on ubuntu

You can try installing it with ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs

You will likely get some errors during the install (particularly when it tries to run "rpm" to check which packages are present) and you may find some difficulties starting and stopping it.

If "searchctl startall" doesn't work you can do it "manually" with:

export ORACLE_HOME=<your oracle home>
export ORACLE_SID=<your sid - default is "ses">
lsnrctl start
sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
startup
exit
searchctl start
