Actually, Oracle9i is easier to install on a glib2.2 system (like SuSE 73)
then Oracle8i. First, you have to download a patch from the metalink
(dunno whether the patch is still available there, but you can download it
from
ftp://oracle-ftp.oracle.com/server/patchsets/unix/LINUX/bug1467074)
Then, you must get your self a korn shell, like the one available in pdksh.rpm from SuSE or from wwww.kornshell.com. Next, you should have ORACLE_BASE,ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID and DISPLAY set and exported before you start the installation. Don't forget to export those variables.
May the force be with you!
