Re: segmentation fault installing 8.0.5 on RedHat Linux 6.0

SuSE 6.2 as well as RedHat 6.0 are glibc-2.1 based, while Oracle needs glibc-2.0. This causes the described problems.

You can find instructions for installing Oracle under RedHat 6.0 at

  http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/rh6x.html

(don't know if it works, I use SuSE).

The rest of this posting is for users of SuSE 6.2.

1. Get Oracle 8.0.5.1 EE (this is the only supported version under SuSE 6.2! But 8i should be supported shortly).
2. Unpack the ~170MB file into a directory of your choice.
3. Download g20binut.rpm, g20egcs.rpm, g20glibc.rpm and g20libs.rpm from ftp.suse.com.
4. Install those file you just downloaded. This will install glibc-2.0 compatibility in your system.
5. Get a file named oracle8051-suse62.tar.gz from ftp.suse.com and unpack it. There are four files in this archive: patch.gz, orarun.rpm, tcl_old.rpm and libtcl7.5.so. Install the RPMs and the .so file.
6. Change to the directory into which you extracted the Oracle installation and apply the patch (zcat ..../patch.gz | patch -p1).
7. Install Oracle.

Hope this helps!
