Hi, I suspect that you are missing some library. Or, you have the library exists but your env does not know about it. I'd try to find out 2 things: -Which rpm is supposed to contain GLIBC_2.0=20 -Which library is supposed to contain GLIBC_2.0=20 You might find the lib in one of the modules listed below: $ rpm -qa|grep -i glibc glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.34.1 glibc-common-2.3.2-95.30 glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.30 glibc-utils-2.3.2-95.30 glibc-profile-2.3.2-95.30 glibc-2.3.2-95.30 glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.30 Supposed you are missing=20 glibc-common-2.3.2-95.30, you can get a copy like this: yum install glibc-common Once you know that you have all of your libraries, make sure they are pointed to by env var LD_LIBRARY_PATH Here is what I have: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:/usr/local/lib -msg On 5/3/05, Seema Singh <oracledbam@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, >=20 > I have been getting following error when run dbca on Red Hat Linux releas= e 9 > (Shrike). >=20 > unable to initialize threads:cannot find class /java/lang/Thread >=20 > could notreate Java VM >=20 > symbol errorno GLIBC_2.0 NOT defined in file libc.so.6 with link time > reference(libzip.so) >=20 > Existing setup: > CLASSPATH=3D.:/opt/oracle/m01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/jdbc/lib/classes11= 1.zip > LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=3D2.4.1 >=20 > ANy thoughts? >=20 > -- > //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l > -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
