Re: Installation of Oracle9i on RedHat 7.1

Hi Anders

I have tried this and it is not possible to install Oracle9i on Redhat 7.1 due to changes made by Redhat to the libc binaries. You should not waste your time trying to downgrade Redhat libc to the correct older version, it will not work correctly anyway (at least not all of it). It is possible to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Redhat 6.2, but Redhat and Oracle seems to be a dead end.

I have installed Oracle9i on SuSE Linux 7.2 and it works fine. Here you should buy the SuSE Linux 7.2 package in a store somewhere (e.g. www.liga.dk) - do NOT try to download it over ftp from SuSE, it takes days and the download'ed older version installer did not work in my case (due to lacking detection of hardware etc.). The one that comes with the package you buy does however work without any problems.
