Phoebe: problem with installing Oracle 9i

[Jon Haugsand <Jon-H Haugsand norges-bank no>]

I am not sure where to,  and even _if_ I should, report a problem with
installing Oracle 9i on RedHat beta distribution Phoebe.  Maybe
someone here can comment?

After filling out the configuration screens in "runInstaller" of
Oracle 9i the screen hangs at 0%.  When looking into the log, I find
it hangs on the following:

Calling action unixActions2.2.0.6.0  createLink
        source = /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/.java_wrapper
        destination = /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/jre
        overwriteExistingLink = true

Looking into the error log, we find the following probable reason:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/OraInstall2003-01-31_10-13-25AM/libactionUnix22.so: /tmp/OraInstall2003-01-31_10-13-25AM/libactionUnix22.so: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

-------------------
Java, yes, but isn't this a glibc issue?  Trying out 'ldd
/tmp/OraInstall2003-01-31_10-13-25AM/libactionUnix22.so' returns:

ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `./libactionUnix22.so'
Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno, h_errno or _res directly. Needs to be fixed.
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40021000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
