dbca fails withNoClassDefFoundError

[steveh]

Hi All,

I'm having problems installing 10g on XP pro, the install is successful
if I don't create a database.

(I've tried on two pcs, one with 256Mb and one with 512Mb.)

The error is the same on both, it's dbca.

The JVM seems to look for a language definition. This was a known issue
with the Oracle Installer on some linux's. The solution in these cases
was to

$ unset LANG

before calling the installer.

Interesting...

I'm on XP Pro though, and there's no LANG variable or anything similar
that I can see?

I'm just amazed this doesn't seem to be a common problem since it's happened
to me on 2 pc's now...

You may be the first person to attempt to run Oracle on Windows XP ;-)
Plus, prepare to be amazed at the myriad other problems you're bound to run
into :-(
