Installing Oracle 10 on a CentOS VMWare image by bagvapp

you should run these adjustments to the Linux kernel (sudo into root)

echo "250 32000 100 128"> /proc/sys/kernel/sem
echo "1024 65000" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max


otherwise edit your /etc/sysctl.conf and add

kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
etc


also, run
yum -y install compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33
yum install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs


also, make sure your NIC is configured for STATIC ip addresses
