Hi Sandor,

The following is from Oracle Metalink.
Try this and please let the newsgroup now if it works. If it works there is no need to downgrade binutils!!!!

fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition 9.0.1

     fact: Intel Based Server LINUX
     fact: RedHat 7.1
     symptom: Installation fails
     symptom: Error during linking
     symptom: ins_plsql.mk
     cause: BUG 1843232.
     Versions of ld prior to version 2.11 ignored the "-z defs" flag. ld
version
     2.11 and later have the ability to use this flag. Because of this
the genclntsh script
     fails to produce the libclntsh.so library on a machine running ld >

2.11.

The "-z defs" is set in the variable LD_SELF_CONTAINED in the genclntsh script.

fix:

When receiving this error during installation, follow these steps:

Open a new console window on the host as the installation user.
Set up the Oracle environment (i.e. ORACLE_HOME).
Make a backup of the $ORACLE_HOME/genclntsh script.
Remove the ${LD_SELF_CONTAINED} flag from the ld command in the 'Create Library' section.
Run the genclntsh script.
Click on 'Retry' in the Universal Installer

The installation will now proceed.

This should be fixed in 9.0.2
