Re: Downloaded Oracle 8.1.7 won't create database on Linux

Hi

Oracle doesn't work on RedHat 7.0 without modifications and relinking. The easiest way would be to downgrade to RedHat 6.2 or copy the oracle binaries
from a working RedHat 6.2 to 7.0. ( In the latter case you can't relink oracle programs)

I got it ( I have 8.1.7 but the problem is about the same) to work by installing packages

   compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.9
   compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
and relinking programs
(I got instructions from Oracle Metalink).

At http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/ there is an other solution that I haven't tested.
