I just installed Oracle 10.2.0 (64bit) on RHEL 4 WS (64 bit). The
installation completed, but there were linking errors (njni10, etc) on
some of the tools (NetCA, DBCA and iSQL*Plus, etc). After searching
the Oracle Knowledge base, the problem seems to center on the glibc
library. The Knownledge base solution was to install an older version
of the 32 bit glibc library and relink everything. After seaching this
group's past posting, I get the definite impression that this solution
does not work. Also, some people who did create 32 bit library
complained that Linux was broken by doing so.
My questions are as follows:
- Why does Oracle state that 10g is certified for RHEL 4 when it
really isn't for the 64bit version? Or is the certification is only
for the 32 bit release of RHEL 4?
- What is the correct solution to fix this problem, one that doesn't
cause Linux to be broken and one that results in a clean linking of
Oracle?
- Finally, why doesn't Oracle provide a 64 bit library for the
linking?
