Interesting. I admit that I haven't done a Grid Control Client
installation Oracle DB 11gR2 requires libgcc-4.1.2 but no limit to the
package version. It should install w/o a fuss unless your DBAs are
fussy. It will not install if the package is missing or if it is not
4.1.2.
(see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10812/prelinux.htm#BABFDJJF
, especially the bit saying "The following packages (or later
versions) must be installed". This link is for Oracle 11gR2 Grid
Infrastucture/RAC but the DB installation document has the same
wording.
