Thanks for this update. I have a crippled 8.1.7. client up. I have backed down the binutils packages till I got the fewest errors. ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/binutils-2.11.93.0 .2-11.i386.rpm binutils-2.11.93.0.2-11.i386.rpm Is the one I used. The new errors are gcc related and I will need to back down that as well. o2ucp.o(.text+0x147): undefined reference to `__ctype_b' Here is the WorkAround I am following. http://comm.nsdl.org/pipermail/servers-operations/2003-July/000413.html Work Around Procedure: Since I was not able to find the glibc-2.3.2-5 RPMs available for download, I'm making the RPMs available on my website. These RPMs are copies of the glibc RPMs that came with the RH 9 CDs I bought in the store. I do not recommend to use any of the "compat" RPMs from older Red Hat distributions since RH 9 contains major changes. Here is the procedure for installing glibc-2.3.2-5 temporarely on your RH 9 server: Download the 2.3.2-5 glibc RPMs from here on my web site. Make sure to check all the digests and signatures contained in the downloaded RPMs since you never know if someone made changes to these RPMs or if someone replaced them. To ensure the integrity and origin of the RPMs, run the following commands: $ su - root # rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY # rpm --checksig glibc-2.3.2-5.i686.rpm glibc-common-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm glibc-2.3.2-5.i686.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK glibc-common-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK glibc-devel-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK # Downgrade glibc, glibc-common, and glibc-devel: # rpm -Uvh --force glibc-2.3.2-5.i686.rpm glibc-common-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm If you get the following error: error: Failed dependencies: glibc = 2.3.2-11.9 is needed by (installed) glibc-debug-2.3.2-11.9 glibc = 2.3.2-11.9 is needed by (installed) glibc-utils-2.3.2-11.9 glibc-devel = 2.3.2-11.9 is needed by (installed) glibc-debug-2.3.2-11.9 glibc-devel = 2.3.2-11.9 is needed by (installed) nptl-devel-2.3.2-11.9 then you can temporarily remove the RPMs from your system until you upgrade the glibc RPMs after your Oracle installation: # rpm -e glibc-debug glibc-utils nptl-devel Now try to run runInstaller again. After Oracle has been installed, you can upgrade glibc, glibc-common, and glibc-devel again. For example: # rpm -Uvh glibc-2.3.2-11.9.i686.rpm glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.2-11.9.i386.rpm If you have any problems or issues with this solution, or if you have any comments, please let me know. You can find my email address at the bottom of this web site. I am downloading the 9i set of cds now. You have to use the whole install to get the client.

If not, then how does one install only the Oracle > 9i Client on RH? I haven't found it. I downloaded the whole 9.2.0.1 package (3 CDs!) and two patchsets, one is a new installer that you MUST have before installing certain other patch sets, and the other is an update to 9.2.0.3. Without it, I found my client leaking prodigious amounts of memory. Sorry, I don't know the patch numbers, offhand, and I'm at home where I don't have a record of them. > > -----Original Message----- > From: fred smith [mailto:fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 9:22 PM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Oracle 8.1.7 Client on RH ES3 or 9 > > > On Wed, Nov 19, 2003 at 08:08:27PM -0500, Tim Pickard wrote: > > Any one have any experince/pointers with this? > > I'm far from being a guru, but I have wasted a number of hours > trying to install 8.1.7 client on both RH9 and WS 2.1, to no avail. > I finally gave up and installed a 9i client (9.2.0.3, once it's > been patched appropriately), which works with a 8.1.7 server > (it's even a supported combination!). > > [snip...] > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------ ---- Do you not know?
