Oracle Database 10g Express Edition installation on openSUSE 11.3 - help needed

Hello, I’m trying to install Oracle Database 10g Express Edition installed following oracles install guide at Oracle® Database Express Edition
I’m pretty much already running into problems with the first step. Downloaded the rpm, executed the line below (as root)

rpm -ivh oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm

and ended up with:

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.zuOYYL: line 160: : 18446744073709551615: integer expression expected
   1:oracle-xe-univ         ########################################### [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/exp;4ceb0827: cpio: Digest mismatch

So I’m guessing it looking for some package that isn’t installed or the wrong version is installed? (Sounds plausible, the download is for a 32bits OS and I’m running 64 bits openSUSE - So I will be missing a lot of 32bits libs)

So I am no expert on Oracle (which eats Suns I am told) but would you not need to use one of the (Old) supported Linux versions to get this to work? I see where it says that:

Operating system
One of the following:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL3 and RHEL4
  • Suse SLES-9
  • Fedora Core 4
  • Red Flag DC Server 5.0/MIRACLE LINUX V4.0/Haansoft Linux 2006 Server (Asianux 2.0 Inside)
  • Debian 3.1

Again, I don’t know for sure but either the file you downloaded is corrupted or you ain’t got what it takes to even run their installer. But I could be mistaken, it has happened before.

Thank You,

(hope this doesn’t end up as a double post - forum acting up)
Thank you for the reply, but I’ve seen blogposts about it running on openSUSE 10.3 so I suspect the list you found is rather old.
