Hi all,

I have been trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Redhat 9. I downloaded the Oracle software and the stub from the OTN site. Installed Java 1.1.8. Created oracle user and the usergroup dba,oinstall and oper. Installed compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14,compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2 and compat-libs-6.2-3. Changed the bash_profile. Now my bash_profile looks like this :

---

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs
umask 022

EDITOR=vi;                   export EDITOR
TERM=xterm;                  export TERM
TMPDIR=/tmp;                 export TMPDIR

Then, I ran runInstaller from Disk1/install/linux/ folder. It went smoothly except later, in some of the modules, when it tried to relink it failed. I clicked ignore in those cases. After that I cancelled the net8 configuration, database creation and the apache server configuration.
Now when I applied the stub, it failed saying "error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file". The stub also changed svrmgrl and sqlplus to svrmgrlO and sqlplusO in $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
Now I cannot find libclntsh.so.8.0 anywhere in my my pc. I don't know from where I can download it.

Please help me fix this problem.
