I have been tying to install 6.0.37.3 on VMS 6.0 with no luck,
here is a
posting from an ORACLE tech/analyst it talks about re-linking
for ORACLE
6.0.36.5, hope this helps.

1.
I talked to a person in LA, he has VMS 6.0 and runs 6.0.36.5,
which is
another option that we still have, and problably at this point
would be
important to try and prove which is the bad component. There is
a change that
you have to do to a file before linking I will include a
bulletin about it.
I will still continue to look for someone who installed
6.0.37.3 on v6.0.
2. I am including the article about the RWNPG state, I hope it
will help, but
it is an old one, from vms 5.5-2, so it may not apply to us..
ok, here is the bulletin:
Upgrading to OpenVMS V6.0
VAX/OpenVMS
Elba Calderon
July 1993
OpenVMS V6.0 has been extensively tested with ORACLE RDBMS 6.0.37.3 and
Oracle7 Server 7.0.13.1 and therefore these are the releases that we support
officially. However, we do not anticipate any problems with earlier releases
of Oracle RDBMS V6 or Oracle7. We will recommend upgrading to one of these
releases if you encounter any serious issue with an earlier version of Oracle.
- Notable exceptions are SQL*QMX and SQL*Connect to Rdb.
Oracle will support SQL*QMX under OpenVMS V6.0 in the December '93 - March
'94 timeframe.
SQL*Connect to Rdb will see further testing in September '93 - November '93
and will be supported under OpenVMS V6.0 by the end of December '93.
- Please note that Oracle products linked on OpenVMS V6.0 will not run on
OpenVMS V5.5! If a customer has two instances of a database in a cluster
environment (one on V5.5, the other on V6.0), they should be sure to link
the products on V5.5.
The following steps must be performed to relink ORACLE V6 and ORACLE7 after upgrading OpenVMS:
To relink ORACLE:
$ _at_ORA_INSTANCE:SHUTDOWN_nodename_orasid
$ _at_ORA_RDBMS:REMORACLE ! removes the ORACLE shared
global
$ _at_ORA_UTIL:REMUTILITY ! removes the tools shared
images
! from the system
$ ORACLEINS
menu: ORACLE Installation and Startup Menu
select: #3 Reconfigure existing products, manage the
database,
or load demo tables
menu: ORACLE Product Installation and Upgrade
select: #1 Software Installation and Upgrade Menu
menu: Software Installation and Upgrade Menu
select: #2 Select Configuration Options
menu: Select Configuration Options
select: RDBMS and exit (links all the tools as well
as the RDBMS)
menu: Software Installation and Upgrade Menu
select: #4 Build Selected Products
Note: If you are attempting to use an Oracle release prior to
the
recommended
versions (ORACLE RDBMS 6.0.37.3 and Oracle7 Server 7.0.13.1), then the
following steps will need to be taken before relinking Oracle:
Change ORA_RDBMS:VAXCRTLLIB.OPT from:
sys$library:vaxcrtl/lib
to:
sys$library:vaxcrtl/lib/include=CMA$TIS
PSECT_ATTR = LIB$INITIALIZE$, NOSHR, WRT PSECT_ATTR = LIB$INITIALIZDZ, NOSHR, WRT PSECT_ATTR = LIB$INITIALIZD_, NOSHR, WRT PROTECT = NO
