Re: Oracle 9.2 on RH ES 4 x86_64

I can't help with the 9i, but I ran into the 10g issue before. In fact, the sys admin questioned whether or not Oracle was truly 64-bit or changed just enough to run on a 64-bit (i.e. just a marketing bullet). We also thought that maybe the installer was still 32-bit and that's why it required so many 32-bit packages.

I'm starting to get a lot more requests for 64-bit oracle instead of 32-bit so please update us with what you find out.
