Oracle 9i on Fedora was a pain. I ended up reinstall fedora to have a fresh system and then followed this web site word for word: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/Oracle9iInstallationOnFedora1.php And then I was able to get it running. This was the best Oracle/Fedora site I found. thanks! ~ Troy Campano ~ On Mon, 2004-01-26 at 20:51, Charlene wrote: > I got my other problem solved about the shared libraries.
