Oracle DB is a server product, and your link mentions options on SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). I just checked a SLES 12 SP1 system and
the kernel module you need is there already, so if you are trying to do
this on SLED, I would recommend you try a Server, not Desktop, build of
SLE since that is where things like Oracle DB should be housed, and are
likely the only place that Oracle would support their DB should you need
help from them.

And, yes; I working with SLED because this installation is on my laptop, and I want practicing the operations for the Oracle Certification. OK, I take in advance your recommendation.
