If I only knew Oracle 9i would run on RH7.3. > off the top of my head here are the pre-requesite package files needed to install Oracle 9iDB (and AS na rin) on RedHat Linux 7.3:
- update all packages to the latest errata versions - install compat-glibc - install compat-libc - install compat-libstdc++ - install openmotif21 (this is were i had trouble at first because this was not documented) - install SUN JDK 1.3.1_latest there maybe some packages missing so please check out the google for the rest. but, this should be enough. note that you should install the proper groups and users plus setup the install directories before hand. the installation documentation that comes with the Oracle CDs should come in handy. > I was wanting to move my Lotus Domino running Linux to Oracle > Collobaration but it seems my Oracle contacts can not decide if they > wanted my account because it not worth millions.

(this is coming from a person who works for a company who is an IBM business partner. hehehe.) btw, it was plainless to install Lotus Domino 6.5 on Linux. really! btw, did you know that we just deployed Lotus Domino 6.5 Web Access in our Lab here at SVI and were able to get the offline client (web-based) to work on Mozilla on Linux. yes! no more Lotus Client software on Wine!!! just a cool looking browser-based interface with an offline plugin!!! beautiful! > My story is real.
