Installing on Fedora 3 is not that easy but possible: I did it... last Friday. First: the jdk included with Oracle will not work Second: go to oracle-base.com and follow the instructions for Fedora Core1. Third: You will have an easier time if you use 9.2.0.4 Fourth: Oracle 9i CANNOT be linked with the libraries used by gcc 3.4 I didn't try (because it will not work) to use gcc 3.3 through the compat libraries from Fedora 3. Instead I used gcc 2.96 through the compat libraries from Fedora 2. You will also need the compat-db package for the Apache 1 web server included in Oracle. Since the compat-db from Fedora Core 2 had dependency problems I installed the one from Core 3. Fifth: Be sure to apply the patches as told in oracle-base. In particular the one related to libc-wait. Otherwise the net config will fail (stinking Java rides again) Sixth: I had problem when typing passwords in the manager since it only took the first character in the password. But in another box I didn't had that problem. Difference could be that the second box was running xfce instead of gnome. Seventh: Before installation be sure to bookmark http://oracle-base.com and http://puschitz.com in your browser since they have looooots of tips about using oracle on Linux.
