Solaris x86 Oracle install fails: linking problem. Advice sought.

I have a little Pentium box that's running out-of-the-box Solaris x86 2.4. I am trying to install the trial version of Oracle Workgroup Server that is presently available for download from the Oracle Web server.

I am getting some linking errors in the final stages of the Server installation. I had no problem installing the client software, so that I now have a very pretty interface to a database engine that doesn't work at all. :-)

If anyone recognizes these errors, and knows of a fix, I would appreciate hearing about it.

is all.
