Re: Problem with oracle 9i on linux

I have successfully installed oracle 9i on Mandrake V8.1 with only a couple problems.

1. Make sure that you have the num-lock off when running the installer. Somehow the button row of buttons doesn't work when num-lock is on.
2. You will recieve erros when linking oracle 9i, but you can overcome that by following the given instructions at this link.

http://www.orafaq.com/msgboard/unix/messages/821.htm

3. When creating a database, the shared mode doesn't work, but the dedicated one does.

And that was it. So I would upgrade to Mandrake 8.1 or 8.0 that has that glibc that you need. And have at it.
