Well, no joy trying to install Oracle 9.2.0.1 on my laptop running Gentoo Linux on a 2.6.4 kernel. Did I mention it's an Athlon? The 9i Installer Java spins at 83% of the install. If I install the 10g Installer, it gets to the same point, then errors out with "error loading netQueries library". Hardly a Google hit on "netQueries library" and zilch from MetaLink. And running the 10g Installer without installing blows up on "getRequiredSpace". Oh well. I was hoping for an easy install. Maybe a strace of the install will help tonite...
