------- Additional Comments From adyroman4@gmail.com 2007-02-02 08:23 ------- One interesting find, IMO, is that the Oracle 9 installer configures /etc/profile to export the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL system variable (with value 2.4.21) which explains dynamic linking to the old glibc libraries on newer systems. It took me 5 hours to realise that, so in case you're running a newer distribution which has NPTL support but the linker seems to point you to the wrong libraries for no apparent reason, remember to verify / make sure that environment variable is not set.
