Is it possible to install this release of Oracle on FC2? (9i or later isn't possible) This is not for a Production Server, but for some quick testing. I realize there is an issue with glibc: [QUOTE] Patch Description ----------------- Oracle8i for Linux is shipped with archived objects which were compiled using glibc-2.1.3. The executable components are then linked at install-time using these archives. Due to compatibility limitations in glibc, if the target system for an installation is based on a later version of glibc, then the executables produced by the linker will not be valid. As a workaround to this limitation, we have created a set of stub libraries which are used at link-time only to mimic the contents of glibc-2.1.3 shared objects. Note that these stub libraries do not contain valid executable code, and therefore *must NOT* be included in the library path searched by the dynamic loader (i.e., do not include $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH [/QUOTE] Should I instead go back to say RedHat 9? I can not obtain RHES or it's siblings for this test. Thank you! Ken Rice TLC
