Greetings!

OBJECTIVE: Get *any* version/release of the Oracle database running on a PC running Fedora, the latest version of Red Hat Linux, also known as Yarrow.

Oracle support said that they do not support such a new version of Linux.

Made much progress by following this procedure: http://dbforums.com/arch/50/2003/12/838005 ...that includes the "glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar" fix.

But when I try to run the Database Configuration Assistant or do anything else I get "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"

...there's no "lsnrctl" binary! Can't create/launch a database. Any suggestions?
