Run in terminal the following command and show the output:
Do you get anything like this one?
I am not convinced that RH linux 6 and Oracle Linux 6 are the same... similar - yes, but the same - I don't know.

Technically, this distro is NOT supported by us, but I will ask our expert on repos/packages to take a look at it tomorrow and see if he can figure it out.

Thank you. if you could confirm if Oracle Ent. linux 6 is compatible from the experts.

[root@monitor nagiosxi]# rhn-channel -l

Hi, Could you confirm if it will work on Oracle linux.
Our management is interested in evaluating this product before we buy the license.
We would like to make our decision to proceed with the poc.

Thanks

We do not support Oracle Linux. We only support RHEL/CentOS 5.5+ & 6+ for our installer scripts. I suggest retrying the installer on a supported platform.
