Here are some more details on the installation, I think are problem is with UnixWare 1.1 and the asyncronous io.

Oracle Version:         7.1.3.0.0 (marked for UW 1.1.1)
UnixWare Version:       1.1

(I think I see the problem. Its just that neither Oracle nor Novell have confirmed the above. The RDBMS is marked as 7.0.x in the installation script)

Undefined Symbols                       Referenced in file
aio_memlock                             /usr/oracle/lib/libora.a 
lio_listio                              /usr/oracle/lib/libora.a
aio_return                              /usr/oracle/lib/libora.a
aio_error                               /usr/oracle/lib/libora.a

Right now I am getting ready to install the UW patches to bring us up to 1.1 then I will try the installation and see if Oracle compiles correctly and then upgrade UW to 1.1.2 and check the installation again.
