Installation manual

(If you want to restore the Red Hat 7.0 version of the compiler, remove the gcc link and cp the
gcc.linux7 file back to gcc).
Another reported (but un-verified) workaround is:
1) Get the following RedHat 6.x packages (if not already installed):
glibc-2.1.3-*.rpm
2) Extract the following files from the RPM package and copy them to $ORACLE_HOME/lib:
libc-2.1.3.so
libpthread.so
libdl.so
ld-linux.so.2
(Those were symlinks to some like libXX-2.1.3.so - Copy the targets)
3) Create $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libc.so (assuming your ORACLE_HOME is /usr/oracle):
GROUP ( /usr/oracle/lib/libc-2.1.3.so /usr/oracle/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )
4) Relink all oracle executables. Type:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./genclntsh
./relink all
(The person that did this did not install any java components. All references to the java option were
removed from oracle libraries.)
Another reported (but un-verified) workaround is:
1) Install Oracle 8.1.6 on RedHat 6.2.
2) Create a tar/gzip image of the entire Oracle directory.
3) Copy the tar/gzip image to the RedHat 7.0 system and unzip it into the same directory paths as
existed on the RedHat 6.2 system.
4) Copy the /etc/ora* file(s) from the RedHat 6.2 system to the RedHat 7.0 system.
Another reported (but un-verified) workaround is:
1) Install Oracle 8.1.6 on RedHat 7.0. Do not create the database.
2) Run the following script to change all references to cc and gcc to /usr/bin/i386-glibc21-gcc:
#!/bin/sh
cd $ORACLE_HOME
LIST=`rgrep -rl -x mk "gcc" .`
for FILE in $LIST ; do
# Make a backup
if [ ! -f $NAME.orig ]; then
