	I assume, that you've got the 64 bit version of Oracle, but a
double check might be useful (as always).

	Do you have a requirement to install exactly 10.2.0.1? I've had
my share of problems with installations of 10.2 on Debian, while 11 was
(almost) painless. If possible I'd recommend a switch to the newest
version.

	Based on this snippet I'd say, that a 32 bit version of
libawt.so tries to use libXp.so which is only available in 64 bits on
your system. Unfortunately, even though Oracle packages are available
for AMD64, the installer itself requires 32 bit Java to be present. So
I'd check if appropriate Java version is present. At least that was one
the quirks during my installation attempts.

	Also with Oracle 11, you can skip most the 'fake requirements'
used to make Oracle think its installed on RHEL or its derivatves, ie.
install it somewhere else than /u01/app/oracle, which was quite hard to
change in 10.2 if I remember well. My current installation for example
resides in /usr/local/oracle/11g1/ which is quite useful.

	Hope it helps.
