Is anyone running Oracle on Fedora

[James Marcinek]

I'm preparing to install an application (compiere) that runs off of oracle (10g
I believe) and would like to know if Oracle will run on it. I haven't run it and
as I know it runs on linux, the issue I have will it will run with the latest
kernel as well as the changes with the glibc library and native POSIX threading
changes that took place between rh8 and rh9 affected many applications.

It's my first Oracle install.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,

James

Not sure if I understand your question correctly but usually the first place 
to start when it comes to oracle and linux is this site:

You tried google (as well this list's archive)?

http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gInstallationOnFedora3.php

http://staff.in2.hr/denis/oracle/10g1install_fedora3_en.html

Really not that hard to find.

You've got couple of good references about installing Oracle on newer 
RadHatish systems.  I'd just add that you should keep in mind that 
installing Oracle on anything but exact OS versions as listed in Oracle 
documentation is not supported.  If you run into problems, you are on 
your own.
