oracle 9i release 2 on RHEL 3.0

["Geoff Rainey (DSLAK)" <GeoffR datacom co nz>]

Hi there,

I have oracle 9i release 2 installed on redhat enterprise linux 3.0.
I have had great complications with various devices, java programs
and so on on this system due to the enhanced native posix thread libraries
on enterprise linux 3.0.
The latest is 9i release 2 is unable to connect to a version 7 oracle db.
I know this is not an oracle forum, but perhaps someone has successfully
installed a lower version oracle client such as 9i release 1 on a 9i relase
2
install on an advanced server or other linux platform with success?

Kind regards,
Geoff.
