Oracle-xe on Ubuntu

My purpose is not to write another
installation
guide for Oracle Express Edition on Ubuntu (Feisty). This is very well documented and quite easy.

However, despite a fresh installation, you will get the following error when loading

/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh

:

/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh:114:[[:
not

 found  

/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh:114:[[:not

 found 

 

/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh:114:[[:not found
/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh:114:[[:not found

You're not to be blamed, there is a slight error in the script.

The solution is to simply edit it (as root) and remove a pair of square brackets on lines #108 and #110.

if [ -n 
"$LC_ALL"

 ]; 
then

  

  locale=$LC_ALL  

elif [ -n "$LANG"

 ]; 
then

  

  locale=$LANG  

else

  

  locale=  

fi

  

if [ -n "$LC_ALL" ]; then
locale=$LC_ALL
elif [ -n "$LANG" ]; then
locale=$LANG
else
locale=
fi

An alternative solution is to change the shell declaration on the very first line of the script.

Now, after reexecuting oracle_env.sh, the variable NLS_LANG should be set.

> echo $NLS_LANG  

> AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8 

 

> echo $NLS_LANG
> AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8

 

The explanation of this issue is that the Bourne Shell does not support the [[ compound command while the Bash shell does
.
