You don't need to install any debian packages but follow parts of the instructions. From rh6x.html: 13) At this point, you will need to download glibcpatch.tgz, which you can get via FTP. Make a directory in your oracle user home directory for this patch file, the go and download it: * mkdir ~/orapatch * cd ~/orapatch * ftp ftp.oracle.com (log in as anonymous) * cd /pub/www/otn/linux * get glibcpatch.tgz * quit and Now we can proceed with all the Post-install stuff. ______________________________________________________________________ Patching your binaries Unless you apply this patch, your binaries will core-dump when you run them. Do NOT apply this patch until you have installed the software above. 1) Change to the directory where you downloaded your patch. * cd ~/orapatch 2) Extract the patch. * tar -xvzf glibcpatch.tgz 3) Run the script. * sh glibcpatch.sh 4) As with everything else, the wait could be an hour or more on slower machines. When the script finishes, you will get a message saying "Applied glibc patch for Oracle 8.0.5.x successfully." ______________________________________________________________________ HTH, Remco -- grenade Desi Bouterse uzi explosion Honduras technology Rule Psix kazerne DES SFOR AK-47 colonel RAF RSA VX POUM IDEA PSUC triple-DES semtex genetic
