Yes, but how did you installed it? Installed on SLES8 and tar-copied, or
just skipped 'linking phase'?
I can confirm, that 8.1.7.4 client works on SLES9 SP3 (even on SLES9 SP3
x86_64), but it must be copied as a tar archive, and not installed from the
scratch. I think, that server dont make much difference.
PS. One more reason to stay @ SLES9 and not go to SLES10.

You can try to take SLES8 Sp3, install Oracle 8 (documentation is on
www.suse.com/oracle) and
copy oracle base to the SLES9.
It works for Oracle 8 client (we use such client in production with
success), and it can work for Oracle database server itself.
I managed to instal Oracle8 on SLES9 SP1 some time ago, but it was tricky
and we did not relinked some components, so
it may be much simpler just to clone Oracle8 from SLES8.
Of course, such configuration is not supported by Oracle. Files are missing
because they was not relinked (you cant relink Oracle8 on SLES9, even using
compatibility rpm's).
Another choice - you can find original version of your missing files (before
relinking )with the O (or 0) suffix in $ORACLE_HOME/bin,
just rename it and try. Don't use AsyncIO and DirectIO (set up few writers
instead of async io).

Subject: [suse-oracle] Oracle 8i on SLES9 ?
Hi all,
I am about to set up some new servers, and found out that their hardware
isnt supported by SLES8.
I need to install Oracle 8.1.7.4 on these machines (can't upgrade to 9i or
10g, our apps arent ready for that yet) and thought about using SLES9.
I did an install on one new servers, and noticed that some binaries were
missing after the installation (glibc-stubs patch was used). Some files like
lsnrctl were missing, but I found files with the ending O (lsnrctlO for
example) and copied them to get thing running (e.g. cp lsnrctlO lsnrctl).
I've been doing a DB import and some quick tests now, everything seems to be
running so far ...
So now I've been wondering if anyone else has tried to do this (8i with
SLES9) and how it has been done ...
I have been thinking about an installation of 8i on SLES8, then tar-ing the
whole stuff and copying it to the new SLES9 box ... would this be working ?
Any thoughts on this matter are highly appreciated. I need to replace one of
the old servers this week, and I don't like ugly surprises while installing
it at the clients site ;-)
Best regards,
Marco Schwarz
