Rich,
      We are running the highest listener.  The problem with 10G is it
isn't compatible with lower releases.
 For example if you do a "lsnrctl status" etc.  

        Typically what happens is some monitor program like BMC's Patrol
or OpenView issues a command using the lsnrctl from whatever ORACLE_HOME
exists for the database it is monitoring.  10G doesn't like that if it
isn't a 10G OH.
    
        Was wondering if a more elegant/problem-free solution than my
soft link exists.

        Thanks
        Larry

I wish I had kept a MetaLink and/or documentation article I ran across
once that states that the listener major version should match the DB
major version.  And we did run into problems trying to have one listener
dole out connections for both 8.1.7 and 9.2.0 DBs.  So, using in part
the explicit auto-registration techniques described here in another
thread, we have separate listeners, running of course on different
ports.

HTH!  GL!
Rich

Got a couple of clients who had us install 10G on some servers where
some have DBs and some don't.

The installers activated the 10G listener (because we always use highest
version) and we got 1000s of
 oerr tns 12618
12618, 00000, "TNS:versions are incompatible"
// *Cause: The two machines are running incompatible versions of TNS.
// *Action: Check the version numbers, and upgrade the machine with the
// smaller one.
