>From Fedora Core TWO compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96 compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96 compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96 >From Fedora Core THREE compat-db Also you have to move gcc 3 out of the way and rename/symlink /usr/bin/gcc296 into /usr/bin/gcc Same thing for g++. Oracle installer is looking for /usr/bin/gcc not the first gcc in $PATH so trying to cheat it by having a symlink in a directory who comes before /usr/bin in the PATH will not work. You will find plenty of info in http://oracle-base.com/articles/9i/Oracle9iInstallationOnFedora1.php Pay special attention at the tweaks you have to do in order to have Oracle use your JVM instead of its own since this one will not start with Fedora 3.
