I followed the instructions in the pdf file about installing Oracle on Linux that I d/l'd from technet. I follow the following steps:

# Now you are out of the installer, there are some additional tasks to
# perform. The file permissions on lsnrctl and several other
# executables  will be incorrect (despite the fact you ran
# $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh at the appropriate time). To
# fix this do the following:
#
#  $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/install/utl
#  $ ./linux.sh
#
# This will recompile and fix the permissions problems.

And get this damn error!!!

/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lordsdo8: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake: ***
[/usr/local/oracle/8i/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/rdbms/lib/oracle] Error 1

So I'm "relinking" to _stop_ this error and I'm getting it, help, I'm confused! (And quickly becoming frustrated)
