Oracle works # perfectly with linux_base6, it is known. It doesn't work with linux_base7, period. The Oracle binaries were compiled against older pieces of linux, so it needs those present to work. This is exactly the same thing you have to do to make it work on newer versions of linux. When I installed Oracle8i on a Red Hat Linux 7.x box, I still had to install the older Red Hat 6.x pieces (glic, etc) that Oracle 8i needed to run. -Joseph To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
