Oracle Preinstallation Setup
In the process of setup environment for Oracle 11g R2 on SUSE 11 R2 (SLES). I encountered some problems when reach the 2.18 Configuring the oracle User's Environment (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24321/pre_install.htm#i1011717).
What I tried to do was to first locate the .bash_profile, then write the following to it:
umask 022
#Set the DISPLAY environment variable?
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracl
ORACLE_SID=test
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID
unset ORACLE_HOME
unset TNS_ADMIN
But first, where is the .bash_profile? I searched it started from /, could not find it. If it does not exist, can I create one? Where to create?
How can I "Set the DISPLAY environment variable"?
DISPLAY=???:0.0
Thanks
PS: I believe another option is to manually type in the above commands.

How you connect to the system? is it through ssh session over the network or from the system console?

Yes, I am using bash shell.
cd ~
ls -al .bash_profile
RESULT:
ls: cannot access .bash_profile: No such file or directory
Interestingly, there is a file named .bash_history
cd ~
ls -al .bash_profile

I believe .bash_profile is optional. You should have the basic .profile. That will suffice or you can manually create a .bash_profile.

Where to create the .bash_profile?
re: http:#a38146291
The home directory of the unix user that needs it.
As any user you can always get 'home' with: cd ~

It sounds likethe /root directory.
Now I have the /root and the /home. Which should be the real home in consideration when people talk about the home directory?

>>How can I "Set the DISPLAY environment variable"?
You set it to the client's ip address but the client must be running an X-Windows emulator:
export DISPLAY=1.2.3.4:0.0
this assumes your X-display is on a machine with the ip address 1.2.3.4
