As I promised two weeks ago, I prepared HOWTO for installation of Oracle 10g R2 on Sun Solaris 10 x86 and also write my feelings from install process here. I prepared fresh installation of Solaris (Core & network) on my test machine plus installed some additional packages (such as SUNWbash) from Solaris media. There are couple of new features and changes since Solaris 10. For example kernel settings in /etc/system are obsolete for most parameters and you need to create and use "project" for that purpose. When the OS was configured I downloaded the DB installation archive and begun the installation process. There are some differences which are not included in official guide. For successfull launch of OUI you need to install some additional packages such as X libraries, Motif runtime, and UTF-8 Iconv modules. Also official guide contains informations for Solaris 8,9 and 10 versions which could be leading to confusion. I can say that whole installation went fine and I wasn't facing to any problem. Of course during this occasion I prepared rlwrap package for Solaris 10 . As rlwrap depends on readline library I prepared also the readline package. download readline package for Solaris 10 x86. (md5 checksum: 1c7d64ef4bd1438b557f6aee60bbfe32) download rlwrap package for Solaris 10 x86. (md5 checksum: 796b77359a5e01fa27072ec0fbf85c66) To install packages execute following commands: 

gunzip readline-5.1-solaris-x86.gz
gunzip rlwrap-solaris-x86.gz
pkgadd -d readline-5.1-solaris-x86 rlwrap-solaris-x86
As readline library is located in /usr/local/lib don't forget to add that line to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Also put following line to your .bash_profile: 
alias sqplus='/usr/local/bin/rlwrap sqlplus'
Enjoy it...
