As usual this thing cannot do what most other software can, without trouble. But that is because it costs an arm and a leg, obviously. So, if you really cannot use the excellent PostgreSQL database - here goes...
Download software
Install packages:
sudo apt install libc6-i386 sudo apt install gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 libstdc++6:i386 sudo apt install alien autoconf automake autotools-dev elfutils rpm rpm-common sudo apt install build-essential debhelper expat gawk gsfonts-x11 html2text sysstat sudo apt install unixodbc unixodbc-dev doxygen ksh openssh-server pax perl-doc rlwrap sudo apt install lsb lsb-core zlibc sudo apt install lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5 libaio1 libaio-dev sudo apt install libelf-dev libodbcinstq4-1 libpth-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev libpthread-workqueue0 libpthread-workqueue-dev sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev libzthread-dev libqt4-opengl:i386 libodbcinstq4-1:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 sudo apt-get install -s cabextract sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt update sudo apt install wimtools libwim-dev sudo apt install -s libbz2-dev:i386
Create soft links:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename sudo ln -s bin/bash /usr/bin/bash sudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib64 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread_nonshared.a /usr/lib/libpthread_nonshared.a sudo ln -s /lib/lsb/init-functions /etc/init.d/functions
And some more for programs:
ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh
Change the link options in bin/orald:
if [ -z "$BASH_VERSION" -o -n "$ORALD_USE_GCC" ] ; then exec gcc "$@" exit 1 fi
add the -no-pie option to gcc in here:
if [ -z "$BASH_VERSION" -o -n "$ORALD_USE_GCC" ] ; then exec gcc -no-pie "$@" exit 1 fi
The proper option is -no-pie with a SINGLE dash before it! Having two dashes does not seem to report an error but the option does not work!!
Now start the installer and run it WITHOUT creating a database.
After a while you will get link errors. At that time edit then execute the following script:
#!/bin/bash # In case you installed into a custom path then modify the below $ORACLE_HOME export $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12/dbhome_1 sudo ln -s \$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntshcore.so.12.1 /usr/lib sudo ln -s \$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1 /usr/lib cp \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.bkp cp \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.bkp sed -i 's/\$(ORAPWD_LINKLINE)/\$(ORAPWD_LINKLINE) -lnnz12/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(HSOTS_LINKLINE)/\$(HSOTS_LINKLINE) -lagtsh/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(EXTPROC_LINKLINE)/\$(EXTPROC_LINKLINE) -lagtsh/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(OPT) \$(HSOTSMAI)/\$(OPT) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(HSOTSMAI)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(OPT) \$(HSDEPMAI)/\$(OPT) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(HSDEPMAI)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(OPT) \$(EXTPMAI)/\$(OPT) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(EXTPMAI)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/^\(TNSLSNR_LINKLINE.*\$(TNSLSNR_OFILES)\) \(\$(LINKTTLIBS)\)/\1 -Wl,--no-as-needed \2/g' \$ORACLE_HOME/network/lib/env_network.mk sed -i 's/\$(SPOBJS) \$(LLIBSERVER)/\$(SPOBJS) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(LLIBSERVER)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(S0MAIN) \$(SSKFEDED)/\$(S0MAIN) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(SSKFEDED)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(S0MAIN) \$(SSKFODED)/\$(S0MAIN) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(SSKFODED)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(S0MAIN) \$(SSKFNDGED)/\$(S0MAIN) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(SSKFNDGED)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$(S0MAIN) \$(SSKFMUED)/\$(S0MAIN) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(SSKFMUED)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/^\(ORACLE_LINKLINE.*\$(ORACLE_LINKER)\) \($(PL_FLAGS)\)/\1 -Wl,--no-as-needed \2/g' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/\$LD \$LD_RUNTIME/$LD -Wl,--no-as-needed \$LD_RUNTIME/' \$ORACLE_HOME/bin/genorasdksh sed -i 's/\$(GETCRSHOME_OBJ1) \$(OCRLIBS_DEFAULT)/\$(GETCRSHOME_OBJ1) -Wl,--no-as-needed \$(OCRLIBS_DEFAULT)/' \$ORACLE_HOME/srvm/lib/env_srvm.mk sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/crs/lib/env_has.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/odbc/lib/env_odbc.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/precomp/lib/env_precomp.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/srvm/lib/env_srvm.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/network/lib/env_network.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/ldap/lib/env_ldap.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/ord/im/lib/env_ordim.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/plsql/lib/env_plsql.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk; sed -i 's/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--disable-new-dtags/LDDISABLENEWDTAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed,--disable-new-dtags/' \$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/lib/env_sqlplus.mk;
Press the "retry" button on the installer which should at least let the installation complete.
But the resulting Oracle installation will not be able to start an instance: startup nomount will hang with a deadlocked Oracle BEQ process which shows a stack trace similar to this:

This shows a deadlock because localtime() is entered recursively due to some signal being handled - and localtime is not reentrant so it blocks on a lock.
The solution is the following:
- Remove all libc* libraries from lib/stubs/
- Relink all
cd lib/stubs rm libc* cd ../../bin ./relink all
After the relink check its log file to ensure that all links succeeded.
After this you can run dbca to create a database, either assisted or unassisted:
dbca -silent -createDatabase \ -templateName General_Purpose.dbc \ -gdbname $DBNAME -sid $DBNAME -responseFile NO_VALUE \ -characterSet AL32UTF8 \ -sysPassword oracle \ -systemPassword oracle \ -createAsContainerDatabase false \ -databaseType MULTIPURPOSE \ -automaticMemoryManagement false \ -totalMemory 2048 \ -storageType FS \ -datafileDestination "/opt/oracle/oradata/" \ -redoLogFileSize 500 \ -emConfiguration NONE \ -ignorePreReqs
