Re: Can I install Oracle 8.1.6 on SunOS 8(Intel)?

I have tried installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 8 (Intel). In the midst I get several errors for all the important makefiles like ins_rdbms.mk etc. The errors are of the type "error in invoking target domerge of makefile libmerge.mk" etc. do I need a patch ? Is this supported ? Tia
