Re: Problem with oracle 9i on linux

9i Will only work on Suse to tell you the truth, you can hack away redhat and get something to work, but Suse is the only distro support (7.1 i believe).

Under Suse part of the installation installs glibc stubs for what it needs. Oracle 9.0.2.1 works great under Suse. I use it as an OEM server, forms backend and testing out Oracle 11i/9i interopability on linux as well to see if the Real Application Clusters make sense for an ERP environment.
