[lug] Oracle 8i on KRUD/RedHat 7.1?

[Riggs, Rob]

You need the compat-glibc package installed. Execute
"/usr/i386-glib21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh". You must then set
the environment variable "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5". The client installer
should work at that point. The server configuation process will not work
without relinking a bunch of Oracle binaries. 

Better information can be found on the net by searching for "Oracle Redhat
7". This site appears to have good info:

Subject: [lug] Oracle 8i on KRUD/RedHat 7.1?


Has anyone gotten Oracle 8i to install on RedHat 7.1? When I try to run 
runInstall it starts the jre, which pegs the processor (according to top)
and 
does nothing else. I have waited over an hour for something visible to 
happen. When I get tired of waiting, I have to use kill -9 to get rid of the

jre.

I have tried this with both KDE and GNOME environments, just in case Oracle 
had made some silly assumptions. There was no other java installation 
referenced in the environment of the userid that kicked off the installer.

Processor reports 851.943 MHz (1697.38 bogomips) and I have  512 megs of RAM

and more than a Gig of swap space configured. (top never reported more than 
about 312 megs used while jre was running). This should be enough resources 
for 8i according to the docs, though it might be marginal for 9i. 

Does 8i not like 2.4.x kernels? (that wasn't clear from the docs)

Should I uninstall Java? Wait for KRUD 7.2 to retry?
