Re: Oracle for Linux Problems

It's a trick. Oracle and Sybase are built with a RedHat distribution. RedHat is not so compatible, to say it nicely. They also do have a mystery:
I installed 5.0, got a ld-linux.so.2 but i can't find it in the packages !!!!

You have to copy the missing lib's from /lib to your slackware setup. here they are: ( this is probably much more then what is necessary, but I haven't got time to figure them out....)

ld-2.0.5.so*               libnss_db.so.1*
ld-linux.so.1@             libnss_dns-2.0.5.so*
ld-linux.so.1.9.5*         libnss_dns.so.1*
ld-linux.so.2@             libnss_files-2.0.5.so*
ld.so.1.9.5*               libnss_files.so.1*
libBrokenLocale-2.0.5.so*  libnss_nis-2.0.5.so*
libBrokenLocale.so.1*      libnss_nis.so.1*
libc-2.0.5.so*             libpam.so
libc.so.6@                 libpam.so.0@
libcrypt-2.0.5.so*         libpam.so.0.59
libcrypt.so.1*             libpam_misc.a
libdb-2.0.5.so*            libpam_misc.so
libdb.so.2*                libpam_misc.so.0@
libdl-2.0.5.so*            libpam_misc.so.0.59
libdl.so.1@                libproc.so.1.2*
libdl.so.1.9.5*            libpthread-0.6.so*
libdl.so.2@                libpthread.so.0*
libm-2.0.5.so*             libpwdb.a
libm.so.6@                 libpwdb.so
libncp.so*                 libpwdb.so.0@
libncp.so.1@               libpwdb.so.0.54
libncp.so.1.0*             libresolv-2.0.5.so*
libnss_compat-2.0.5.so*    libresolv.so.2*
libnss_compat.so.1*        libutil-2.0.5.so*
libnss_db-2.0.5.so*        libutil.so.1*

 You cannot hope to get oracle to work without it. something with a getgroupname call and so forth. it's in unix.prd, the installer file

The same goes for sybase:
sybase has a problem connecting over the network. says cannot find your box, not even 127.0.0.1

it is not only libc, it's also for sure the loader. ( ld-linux.so.?? ) It has to be version 2.x.x
