Re: Install Problem with 8.1.7 on Suse 7.3

We've just had a similar problem with RedHat. It is because Oracle uses some old glibc and therefore does work with the newer versions. There exists a detailed fix for a RedHat installation at:

http://linuxlab.dk/fcl/technotes/ora_817_3.html

Not a 100% procent sure that it works for Suse, but it will give you the idea. The other "fixes" that I read of (including RedHat and OTN) only moved the problem elsewhere if it helped at all.
