Hi Tom,

Yup will need to to do LD_ASSUME_KERNEL everytime you make use of Oracle.  So putting it in Oracle's profile is a good thing.  Also any shell scripts that runs any Oracle stuff like nsd.

The key thing is that /usr/i386-glib21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh

should NOT be run.  We are verifying Janine's finding.  I guess you will be the one to verify that no compat libs is needed to make Oracle run on glibc2.2 based distro like RH 8.0.  So don't install any compat rpms.

Once you are successful in running Oracle with only the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL and stubs patch please post.  If you are not successful your OpenACS install should fail on CR installation.  Somewhere in SQLJ I believe.

After you verified that we can run Oracle without compat libs, we can just put a note on the Install Docs on the needed steps.
