No poor bet. Only you probably did not read the beginning of the
instructions mentioning to put up four compatibility packages. It of
course contains the glibc2.0.7 libraries in the same way as the libc5
package. The only problem is that there is no similar in debian.

Is there no glibc2.0 oldlib somewhere to use?

It should. It needs glibc2.1 and kernel 2.2 (and a lot of memory).
I saw it running on redhat. It was packaged or installed (I don't know how
it came up on that machine) very amateurly. It did not even contain the
jdbc driver in the java classpath.

Hi,
It seems to work fine. Although I only installed it and haven't used it
much at all yet. I did do some imports which went normally though.

Please note I did not try this myself, I am sticking to slink until
potato is released as stable.  Your experience and a closer look at
the instructions I referred to prove that this patch was a poor bet.

The problem is of course the relinking of binaries to glibc-2.0 on
potato.  This seems impossible.  There is a way to install Oracle
without relinking, IIRC.  I think it has something to with OPS.

I sure hope 8i runs on potato.  Can anybody confirm this?

Sends a couple of error messages about not finding files. These files are:

a.: components which were not selected for install.

b.: this is the problem: i386-glibc20-linux-gcc and
i386-glibc20-linux-gcc/bin/ld

Due to the problem b: it did not build anything, but make my binaries
vanish (got renamed). After I set these to point to /usr/bin/gcc272 and
/usr/bin/ld I got only messages for error a:, however the binaries built
segfaulted again. Did not even try to install the db files and run
root.sh.

You don't need to install any debian packages but follow parts of the
instructions.  From rh6x.html:

   13) At this point, you will need to download glibcpatch.tgz, which you
   can get via FTP. Make a directory in your oracle user home directory
   for this patch file, the go and download it:
 * mkdir ~/orapatch
 * cd ~/orapatch
 * ftp ftp.oracle.com (log in as anonymous)
 * cd /pub/www/otn/linux
 * get glibcpatch.tgz
 * quit

and

   Now we can proceed with all the Post-install stuff.
   __

   Patching your binaries
   Unless you apply this patch, your binaries will core-dump when you run
   them. Do NOT apply this patch until you have installed the software
   above.

   1) Change to the directory where you downloaded your patch.
 * cd ~/orapatch

   2) Extract the patch.
 * tar -xvzf glibcpatch.tgz

   3) Run the script.
 * sh glibcpatch.sh

   4) As with everything else, the wait could be an hour or more on
   slower machines. When the script finishes, you will get a message
   saying "Applied glibc patch for Oracle 8.0.5.x successfully."

It is not clear which packages should I install in debian since it is for
redhat.

You need to patch the Oracle binaries to get 8.0.5 running on
glibc-2.1 based systems.  Please follow
 for details.

[aphro]

I've seen i think an edition of caldera that comes with oracle..seen it in
a few stores so far..if you want run run a oracle server it may be best to
start with that..im sure other places have it..it was kinda pricey though
..around $90 i think ..

oracle 8.0.5 and glibc2.1 segfaults

[Robert Varga]

I have tried to install oracle 8.0.5 on a slink machine upgraded to
glibc2.1.2 . Kernel is 2.2.13. The machine is a Pentium-III 600.

However during install, it could not create the databases since the 
program svrmgrl segfaulted when trying to create the database files.

I ignored the error and continued the install. It did not create the
database files but did not give any other error messages.

However when I tried to run sqlplus, it also segfaulted. I presume all
others would segfault as well.

I managed to install the 8.0.5 on another machine with glibc2.0.7 and
kernel 2.2, so I think the problem is with glibc2.1 

What should I do to make oracle work?
