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? Robert Varga
