Michael, The linking problem is not that bad. It just means that you will have to set up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH var in your environment and put it your .bash_profile for future logins on your machine. Something like this: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib That way the binaries from your oracle programs (like sqlplus) will be able to find the bad-linked libraries during installation. I tried installing Oracle 9i in FC3 and it was a pain, I couldn't do it (Like always, old versions of Java are a major PITA). So I installed Oracle 10g and it was excellent. Not a single error and the libraries were linked without any problem so I didn't have to setup the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
