Re: Oracle 9.2 on RH ES 4 x86_64

Re the 9i problem I forgot to include in last post:

When the installer fails when linking, edit the following files to remove references to extproc32: OH/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk
OH/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk

Then click 'retry' on the installer.

If you need the 32bit extproc, you will have to contact OWS.
