Re: Oracle9i on Suse Linux

Jonathan,

SuSE 7.1 uses glibc 2.2, while previous versions used version 2.1. You can find the location of the patch to fix this on both www.suse.com and at MetaLink.

Sorry, can't help with the other stuff, though I did have problems with Java. There's some MetaLink stuff about that too.
