Hi,
Finally I've started the installation procedure. I've tried to do this :

1. Install, Upgrade or De-install software
2. Install new product without creating DB objects
3. selected all the products but without Oracle8.0.5 doc, JDBC and

Intelligent Agent.
4. started the installation
Then I came on several errors :
-> the first was a missing script called get_plattform ! Looking in the
other
scripts calling it, I saw it was something about the OS type. I've one script that only returns the result of uname. Is this correct ?

-> After installing some stuff, I discovered that the installer is trying to
relink some things. I came on the sqlplus in /u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/plsql/lib/ins_plsql.mk. When runing make -f ins_plsql.mk ... I've got some errors about a missing -lnsl
library.
After looking in my configuration, I saw that this library still exists in a shared version :
% ls -al /lib/libnsl*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19028 Oct 25 1998 /lib/libnsl-2.0.7.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 27 21:10 /lib/libnsl.so.1
-> libnsl-2.0.7.so*

which seems to be a glibc2.0 library but slackware3.9 is a libc5 distribution.

Which choices do I have to get this working ? Have you any idea about it ?

Thanks a lot for you help.
