Wonderful! I've been doing that for custom installs in the oraparam.ini file -- just didn't take it the necessary step further. Thanks!

For example, db/db_prereq.xml contains the following line: <PREREQUISITEREF NAME="GLIBC" SEVERITY="Error"/> Changing that to "Warning" might help you to continue the installation. Needless to say, doing that wouldn't guarantee that the linking stage of the process will succeed. Max Pakhutkin -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
