Glibc problem with Oracle software

[Troy Campano]

Oracle 9i on Fedora was a pain.
I ended up reinstall fedora to have a fresh system and then followed
this web site word for word:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/Oracle9iInstallationOnFedora1.php

And then I was able to get it running.
This was the best Oracle/Fedora site I found.



thanks!
