Hi,

Just to clarify Rick's comment, Oracle 9iR2 runs OK on RedHat 7.3 and 8.0
(and probably SuSE 7.3 and 8.0 as well) as long as you make one slight
change to a Makefile when it links the application. The link fails, but you
can fix it up in another window and retry. The fix is to add -ldl to the end
of the link line for CTXHX in ins_ctx.mk. (That makes more sense when you
see the error message the installer gives.

Once that is done it is possible that the configuration assistants will fail
(go into a busy loop) on some CPUs. This is due to a bug in the JIT in the
JRE the installer uses. To fix this edit the netca and dbca scripts to
invoke the Java runtime with a -nojit option.

That's all there is to it!

Regards
Neil
