oracle on linux

[andy at honnu.com (Anand A Rao)]

Oracle needs  some fixes (some articles call it   down grading of  glibc).
Oracle  contains some docs on this in  its website. So does MAndrake  which
has  some  rpms which fix the  problem.  I am sure Redhat  shud have some
stuff too on its  site.

one of the URLS  talking  about  similar problem is

http://www.orafaq.com/msgboard/unix/messages/445.htm

Mandrake talks about this in
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/updates/mdk-updates.php3?dis=8.0
      2001-05-07    MDKA-2001:006: glibc  Updated glibc packages fix
problems with Oracle Universal Installer



Also  I had  read some articles on this on Oracle  support. I  dont seem to
find it at this moment.

cheers
Andy
