Needing an old version of gcc...

[alan brown]

When installing oracle9i the installer threw an error before it even got started saying that it couldn’t find a gcc file that it needed, namely libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2.  So I looked in my /usr/lib directory and saw that I had files very similar to those files (libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so) so I symlinked the missing filename to the one I had.  The oracle installation then worked fine.   However, now I’m trying to run the dbca command (database configuration assistant) and it’s falling over almost immediately with the following error…   SIGSEGV   11*  segmentation violation             stackbase=0xbffff21c, stackpointer=0xbffff0e4   Full thread dump:     "Finalizer thread" (TID:0x41191210, sys_thread_t:0x444c0e0c, state:R) prio=1     "Async Garbage Collector" (TID:0x41191258, sys_thread_t:0x4449fe0c, state:R) prio=1     "Idle thread" (TID:0x411912a0, sys_thread_t:0x4447ee0c, state:R) prio=0     "Clock" (TID:0x41191088, sys_thread_t:0x4445de0c, state:CW) prio=12     "main" (TID:0x411910b0, sys_thread_t:0x8231210, state:R) prio=5 *current thread*             java.lang.System.initializeSystemClass(System.java) Monitor Cache Dump: Registered Monitor Dump:     Thread queue lock: <unowned>     Name and type hash table lock: <unowned>     String intern lock: <unowned>     JNI pinning lock: <unowned>     JNI global reference lock: <unowned>     BinClass lock: <unowned>     Class loading lock: <unowned>     Java stack lock: <unowned>     Code rewrite lock: <unowned>     Heap lock: <unowned>     Has finalization queue lock: <unowned>     Finalize me queue lock: <unowned>     Dynamic loading lock: <unowned>     Monitor IO lock: <unowned>     Child death monitor: <unowned>     Event monitor: <unowned>     I/O monitor: <unowned>     Alarm monitor: <unowned>             Waiting to be notified:                 "Clock" (0x4445de0c)     Monitor registry: owner "main" (0x8231210, 1 entry) Thread Alarm Q: ./dbca: line 126: 10352 Aborted                 $JRE_DIR/bin/jre -DORACLE_HOME=$OH -DJDBC_PROTOCOL=thin -mx64m -classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca $ARGUMENTS     Does anyone have any idea what I’ve done wrong.  This maybe the wrong place to post this question, but I imagine there’re a lot of people out there who’ve installed Oracle on Linux and I believe I’ve done a standard install, so I hope someone else has already seen and solved this problem…   alan
