Oracle 9i does work under RedHat, but as someone pointed out to me, in order to work with DBD::Oracle, you need to make sure you also install the Oracle Development Kit as part of that installation. Select the option that says "Show all packages including required dependencies" and you should see it.
The reason 8.1.7 hangs on startup of installation is that it uses glibc 2.1, and Redhat comes with 2.2. There are some compat libs you can download, but I didn't quite get everything working when I did that. 9i will work. -Jeffrey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter J .
