Re: Oralcle 9i for Linux: Installation linking problem

Hi blurg et al,

after working on this problem for a while again I found an interesting posting on comp.database.oracle.misc with the subject 'Oracle 9i and RHLinux 7.1 linking errors'. The solution mentioned there is quite simple: Upgrade your binutils to 2.10.91.0.4-1. I got my copy from ftp.de.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils, installed it and guess what. Linking works perfect (at least for me).

bye,
stefan
