I have looked through the list archives and google'd everything I can think of (including puschitz) and I cannot find anything on getting Oracle9i x86_64 on fedora core 3 x86_64. I am failing during the linking process with multiple errors. I installed the compat* packages, but I noticed that they aren't like the old compat* packages that have the gcc-2.96. I am not sure which version these are (3.3??). I will admit to having used jdk 1.4.2 and have discovered that I need 1.3.x so I am working on that. Any help would be great. Thanx! Michael
