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 steven --- John Newbigin <jnewbigin at ict.swin.edu.au> wrote: > Steven Vishoot wrote: > > > the stubs file has the compact libs > The required libraries are 'compat', short for > computability.
