Hi

All done, and it went more easily then I expected. The only snag I had was that I did not install XFree, but that was easily added using up2date.

Oracle is one of those things, that unless you do everything perfectly, then you are bound to run into problems.

Anyway, here's what I did...

Set up users, groups, directories etc
Run the installer program
Install Oracle.. there are some messages about missing files, just hit ignore
Extract glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz into /u01/app/oracle, or wherever you installed Oracle
Run ./setup_stubs.sh
Run /u01/app/oracle/bin/netca (or just write ./net/admin/tnsnamed.ora yourself)
And that's it!

[oracle_at_xxx oracle]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
[oracle_at_xxx oracle]$ uptime
 16:05:25 up 3:00, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.05, 0.25 [oracle_at_xxx oracle]$ /u01/app/oracle/bin/sqlplus */*@*

Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production

I would recommend you start from scratch, and make sure you get everything right. It is a lot easier than trying to troubleshoot.
