As far as I know, /usr/lib/libc.2 is only present in HP-UX 11.0, not 10.20 (the latter has /usr/lib/libc.1). Are you *sure* the Oracle CD-ROMs you have are for 10.20 and not for 11.0 ?

One trick (as root) you can try on 10.20 is:

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libc.1 libc.2

I've actually done this as a test a while ago on a 10.20 system and then surprisingly managed to run an 11.0 binary (not Oracle though) quite satisfactorily !
