Yep, think so too.
I had the same issue (as shown in the first 'webshot') only last week
installing 10gR2 (64-bits) on Linux for zSeries (SLES9-based).
Cause: missing glibc-devel-32bit package.
What's frustrating is the fact that:
- this prereq isn't mentioned anywhere in Oracle's official install docs - same is true for 10gR1 although it is needed there as well - during the actual install, it doesn't pop up right away at theprerequirements check phase but much later at the link phase - although all of this is known for quite some time (there is a Metalink-note for it, haven't the number at hand right now) Oracle seems not to be capable of updating their install docs accordingly.
