Thank all of you for your advices. Actually I checked the redhat website for installing the 8.1.7 version. They said the installation program does not work properly with glibc2.2 and above. So we installed the Red Hat Linux 6,2 compatibility packages (compat-egcs, compat-glibc and compat-libs) and issued the following commands before running the Oracle installation program:

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

Now it works pretty fine. Hope other people won't have the same problem in the future.

With best regards,
