Redhat 7.1 and Oracle 8.1.7

Hi,

From RedHat Press Release:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
. /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh

This messages I guess should get directed towards RedHat. I've installed RedHat 7.1 and following the instructions for Oracle and 7.1
(in the Press Release from RedHat?) about tricking out the kernel Oracle
seems to install and link properly. But...

After installing or relinking Oracle something is wrong and I believe it has to do with RedHat and their little party they are having with the compiler.

What I found:
I have a Oracle 8.1.7 database and listener running on say johnny.rockets.net

if I do a:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/tnsping johnny

I get:
TNS-03506: Failed to create address binding

But If I do a:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/tnsping johnny.rockets.net

I get:
Attempting to contact
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=johnny.rockets.net)(PORT=1521))
OK (20 msec)

Before any tells me to check my resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf this does work:
/bin/ping johnny

64 bytes from anger.laserlink.net (192.168.102.5): icmp_seq=7 ttl=249 time=5.450 msec
and so on....

My resolv.conf does have the lines
search rockets.net
nameserver {ip for ns1.rockets.net}
nameserver {ip for ns2.rockets.net}

In RedHat 7.0, 6.2 - this definitely works.

I really wanted 7.1 to get Oracle Certified but I think we'll have to wait for 7.2. RedHat is starting to let me down - I really wanted the 2.4 kernel in a Oracle Certified Distro.

RedHat please help,
