Thanks for the reply Tim. I have now whacked the test machine and tried both version 9.0.2 and 9.0.3 of the 9i AS for Linux and they both fail exactly the same way. So, after reading your post I decided to see if there was a Client install for Linux CD and there isn't. I'm assuming that the Linux Client should also be a part of the Server Install. BTW I also have 9i DataBase and might just try to install that to see if I can get a copy of the Client Shared Library file for the 9i AS Install just to see.

One last note, I got access to the metalink.oracle.com site using our company information that was emailed to me, and low and behold, the binutils patch I mentioned in my original post has been superceded and is no longer available. The updated patch is not on the metalink site as well. So, now I'm convinced that everything I need should be on the CD but I can't for the life of me understand why the Universal Installer isn't putting this one file in place nor can I find any instruction on where I should get it from. Everything else appears to be there.

In fact, the Web Admin Site running perfectly and accurately reports that the Web Cache is not running along with one other Service I can't remember at the moment. So the quest continues!

Cheers, Roger A.
