Fact: Oracle (all versions) and FC5 are completely incompatible because
of the new
glibc. When ones enter "FC5 Oracle10.2" into Google, the first thing
that pops out
is the following article:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnFedora5.php
This article leads to the conclusion that there is no problem with
installing Oracle 10.2
on FC5. Nothing could be further from the truth. This was just a "draft
article" written
before the final version of FC5. This final version has new glibc which
is incompatible
with Oracle 10.2 at the moment. This article is severely misleading.
Please, do not
follow the advice and do not attemt to use FC5 as an Oracle RDBMS
server. It cannot
be done at the moment.
I looked through the article for an email address of the proud author
(someone known
as "Tim") but I couldn't find it. Therefore, I decided to publish my
warning here.
Look instead on OTN and on this group. OTN Forums for Linux and
Installation have
some good descriptions of the problem.
