I haven't yet fixed this particular problem.

Here's a very useful tip I found on one of the Oracle forums:

run this RPM query to see if all needed packages are installed. # rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n' binutils compat-db control-center gcc gcc-c++ glibc glibc-common gnome-libs libstdc++ libstdc++-devel make pdksh sysstat libaio libaio-devel

The output should included all of the packages shown below (for an x86-64 system)
I don't know why xscreensaver and pdksh were included, as they should not be necessary to install Oracle.

The libaio packages are definitely required. The libaio-devel-0.3.105-2 (x86_64) package was missing from the box I am working on. up2date would not locate it, so I manually installed it. (libaio-0.3.105-2.x86_64.rpm)

Oracle 10gR2 will link without it, but when sqlplus tries to load it to connect to a database, it will fail.
