The installer in 8i would only run with the included Linux JDK 1.1.8 which used native threads, and you may know that native (Linux) threads are very shaky in FreeBSD -- most times you get core dumps. With 8i you had to install Oracle on a Linux platform and then copy the directory hierarchy over to FreeBSD. Then it would work. It actually worked very reliably that way, I have been using it for about two years now, in software development. The problem is that 8i doesn't like newer Linux environments like linux_base-7.1. For native Linux there are patches by oracle which make it run, but for me the patches didn't work in FreeBSD (creating a database aborted because it couldn't figure out the tty of the current process). So now that I upgraded to 4.7R where linux_base-7.1 is the default I am inclined to also upgrade to Oracle9i and see how far I get here. -- Regards, Georg.
