Again - Oracle 9i is NOT supported on RH Linux 9.1. Now, if you are going to use this 
combo at home then I w'd highly recommend the following URL:

W'd you use this combo (Oracle 9i + Mandrake 9.1) for production use? Then...NOT 
officially supported!! And if you want to really burn your hands you should see a 
sample (straight from Oracle) before:

Reviewer:  Fernando S�nchez  from Madrid, Spain 

I've recently installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Mandrake 9.1. I want to
precompile my first Pro*C program (just doing "proc my_program.pc",
not using any makefile).

I've written this pcscfg.cfg file (it was empty after installation):

sys_include=($ORACLE_HOME/precomp/public,/usr/lib/
gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.2.2/include,/usr/include)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/precomp/public)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo)


When trying to precompile, I get the following:

.................

Syntax error at line 43, column 9, file /usr/lib/g
cc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.2.2/include/stdarg.h:
Error at line 43, column 9 in file /usr/lib/gcc-li
b/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.2.2/include/stdarg.h
typedef __builtin_va_list __gnuc_va_list;
........1
PCC-S-02201, Encountered the symbol "__builtin_va_list" when
expecting one of the following:

auto, char, const, double, enum, float, int, long,
ulong_varchar, OCIBFileLocator OCIBlobLocator,
OCIClobLocator, OCIDateTime, OCIExtProcContext, OCIInterval,
OCIRowid, OCIDate, OCINumber, OCIRaw, OCIString, register,
short, signed, sql_context, sql_cursor, static, struct,
union, unsigned, utext, uvarchar, varchar, void, volatile,
a typedef name,
The symbol "enum," was substituted for "__builtin_va_list" to
continue.

.......................

and a lot of more errors of the same kind.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

 

Oracle's Followup:  
we don't really do mandrake as a supported linux distro.

However, if you want to "play" around w/ it then you may refer the following link - 
http://www.e-gineer.com/instructions/install-oracle9i-on-linux.phtml

Note: This one uses Mandrake 8.0 though but should do the trick for you.
