Re: Shared Lib Error on RHEL AS 4u2 with Oracle's compat-libcwait

First off, you don't need this patch to run 10gR2 under RHEL4 U2 (32 or 64-bit).

The other potential trouble is that I don't see an x86-64 version of this patch on MetaLink, so you most likely have the 32-bit version. Since you're running U2 for Intel EM64T, you should not expect 32-bit libraries to work correctly on a 64-bit OS. I recommend you uninstall this package before proceeding.

Hope this helps.
