I am still using 9iR2 on CentOS-2. AFAIK, 10g is mostly the same as 9iR2 so it is possible that the requirements are still there.
pushitz says: "The installation of Oracle10g on my RHELAS3 system worked fine without installing any compatibility RPMs like compat-gcc, compat-libstdc++, etc."
But that might be because they were installed already. They might also be included with Oracle, or Oracle might be linked against new versions. I have not tested so I can't say. From my experience, most binary only linux software requires compat libraries (motif, ncurses, c++ etc.). Once again, read pushitz. Unfortunately his docs tend to mix lots of versions together so best to read the lot before you try and run anything. Also, I can't see a problem installing the compat libs and not using them.

john thanks for the info, i will surely be able to see if that works when i decide to upgrade my server to centos. now then if 9i is built to centos-2 then what would 10g and 11 be built too. are they finally up equvilant version of centos-3 libs or they still the libs same as the lower version of oracle? that is still being equal to centos-2 libs.
argh

the stubs file has the compact libs
The required libraries are 'compat', short for computability. Even though Oracle may run on CentOS-3, CentOS-4 etc, it is built for a CentOS-2 like environment (well at least 9i is), so you need CentOS-2 libraries. These have been conveniently packages for CentOS-3 users into the '-compat' rpm packages.
(from pushitz) compat-db-4.0.14-5.i386.rpm compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm etc.
in them. since
oracle has built it db's on a older libs the stubs file is needed to be able to install it without
much
troubles. this is what i have experienced in the
past,
i dont know how it is to install it on centos or
with
10g or higher since my computer does not have
enough
ram for that app to run. correct me if i am wrong.
You could possibly still install and run Oracle if you had enough swap instead. Sure it might not be very fast.... As already mentioned, for oracle on linux, always read this first http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
And don't forget OTN. That is getting better these days. And remember to check out the Oracle Instant Client which can now be used with PHP :)
