Thanx for looking. Searching for "glibc detected" on Oracle-L <URL:http://www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/archive-search.fcgi?query=glibc+detected&list=oracle-l> came up with nothing. Though, glibc shows up a few times, seems to be as a requirement check or the like.

Is it possible to just copy the client files from a box with it already installed to the new box? We're on Linux and it's just for sqlldr (and the client itself).
