Re: 10g install on redhat 9 libctxc10.a Malformed Archive issue

Its installed now!, i deleted and ran it again and intended to insert te library you sent but second time it just worked. So i have no idea why it corrupted the library first time. everything was same, same choices, user, env, directories etc.

Thanks again

cheers

Pete
