How to Install Oracle 11gR2 XE on Ubuntu
I wanted to import a datapump dumpfile to my laptop, and I wondered if I can install Oracle XE to ubuntu guest. I thought it would be easy because I installed Oracle 10g XE to ubuntu for several times, but I saw that Oracle doesn’t provide debian packages for Oracle 11g XE. So I needed to convert the RPM to debian package (and fix incompatibility problems). Therefor, I installed “alien” package and other required tools using apt-get:

gokhan@gokhan-VirtualBox:~/Desktop$ sudo su - root@gokhan-VirtualBox:~# apt-get install alien |
Then I downloaded the zipped RPM (oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip), unzipped it:
