If you are in EURO-land, you have to get rid of the "@EURO" in your LANG like for me in Germany: export NLS_LANG=german export LANG=de_DE For GLIBC you need the compat-packages menioned in the README on the RH-CD and the following settings: export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 . /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh Last but not least you need a working JRE. I used the IBM-JRE but the original is working well too. During the install of the enterprise-version, there was a compile error because the gcc can't compile one of oracle's tools. You have to patch the Makefile to use kgcc instead of gcc. The final problem i had was that oracle needs the "ksh" which wasn't installed on my system.
