It should satisfy
I meant, the ebuild is there, but is not emergable because it's not even soft-masked (or I missed something about portage). > > So, has anyone already succeded installing Oracle 10.2?

Was a normal Oracle install without stumbling, in fact one of the cleanest installs ever. What I did now is fetch the libaio 0.3.102 source from SuSE 9.3 from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/src/libaio-0.3.102-3.src.rpm and compiled and installed that. Now 10gR2 is installing and running fine. The spec-file looks like the original author more or less abandoned maintenance in 2002 and redhat staff did further development from that on. libaio 0.4 also seems to break compatibility with the 0.3 tree. Now I'm fighting to get an 9iR2 client installed on the same box additionally, which fails with some too-old java stuff, but that's completely another problem.
