OBIEE and Ubuntu

OBIEE Supports only Redhat, Oracle Linux and Suse.However I wanted to try if it works for Ubuntu

Ubuntu

Downloaded Ubuntu 9 Desktop Edition from Internet.
The downloaded file is a .iso file.
Burn this file to a blank CD. Burn Image feature has to be used.
Once burnt, make sure its burnt properly. If you see a single .iso file , then its not correct.We should be seeing multiple files and directories in the CD.
Go to the setup of your desktop and change the option to boot from CD Drive.
Put the CD onto the drive and restart the computer.
Computer boots form CD
There will be an option displayed to check the integrity of the burnt CD. Click that.
If the CD is OKAYed in the above step, proceed to install.
If you are going to use multiple OS, then select a partition in which you will be installing Ubuntu.Select File system . I selected Ext4.
Start the Install.
Success :-)

OBIEE

Logon to your Ubuntu OS
Download the OBIEE latest version for Linux from Oracle.com.
Unzip and Untar the file and keep it ready.
Make sure you have the GCC C++ Complier already Installed. It should be available by default in Ubuntu Desktop Edition.If installed, the GCC C++ runtime version 3.4.3 libraries are in one of the following locations:
■ /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
■ /lib/libstdc++.so.6
Go to Console.
CD to /home/joseph/Desktop/Media/RH_Linux/Server/Oracle_Business_Intelligence. <<>>
Type sh setup.sh
This will start the Installation Window.
Mention your options like Location for JDK, OC4j password etc and click next, next,next.
This was the last place that I could reach. The window shows 100% for a very long time. I even waited for a full night. Its dead.

OBIEE is not compatible with Ubuntu. I would be happy if somebody could prove otherwise.
