    But I was too quick - you get a 404 at the moment. Thanks for the good wishes.

    fair point, so you can start reading the x86_64 install guide while waiting …

    I’m just happy it’s out.

    By the way, I caught the news via OraNA’s tweet, which linked to this post, which linked to Niall’s.

    It’s out, but where is it? It’s raining 404’s and 8K-zip (the 404-page send as a zip-file, sign of a VERY busy webserver) files.
    How about a torrent?

    By the way: Happy Birthday, Niall!

    Torrent would be great. By now the link gone also. Damn, I need it by Monday.

  6. SwitchBL8 Says:

    Link is gone, but you still can follow the above link. I downloaded everything (client, clusterware, etc) but only the database downloadlink results in a stubborn 404.

    System requirements for 11g are in an order of a magnitude that I wonder why Oracle even bothers to ship 32-bit versions. And I even have a 64-bit machine AT HOME! Now guess what ALL of our servers are.

    I am trying to install it on SLES10.1, and keep getting:

    Checking operating system requirements …
    Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Not executed

    Recommendation: Make sure you are installing the software on the correct platform.

  9. Oracle Database 11g (11.1.0.6) for x86_64 « Kevin Closson’s Oracle Blog: Platform, Storage & Clustering Topics Related to Oracle Databases Says:

    […] Oracle Database 11g (11.1.0.6) for x86_64 Published October 18th, 2007 oracle Oops, there was a false alarm about the availability of Oracle Database 11g (11.1.0.6) for x86_64 (AMD/EM64T). I just checked and it is now downloadable on OTN. […]

  10. Laurent Schneider Says:

    Do you mean SLES 10 or SuSE 10.1 Professional ?

    $ cat /etc/SuSE-release
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586)
    VERSION = 10
    

    If you try to install on a non-supported version, you can ignore this with

    
    runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
    

  11. jedi Says:

    That’s basically what I had to do. I was able to get the server up and running! :)

    oracle@yoda:/etc> cat SuSE-release
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
    VERSION = 10
    PATCHLEVEL = 1
    oracle@yoda:/etc>

  12. Laurent Schneider Says:

    Thanks for the info. Probably due to your SuSE patch, I would open a case by Metalink if I were you (just for confirmation you have to ignore the message) :!:
