This is more a note to myself, as I seem to forget this step whenever I am installing Oracle XE on an Ubuntu server.
As well as all the usual suspects (build-essential, linux-header-server, etc), also remember to install:
- libaio1
- libaio-dev
- bc
Either that, or if you feel like downloading a random 200MB, you can install it from the Oracle repositories.
Now excuse me, while I go beat myself over the head for spending hours trying to work out why Oracle wasn't working.
