We're running 10.1.0.3 on SuSE 9 (which is an Oracle-certified combination),
and I had to file a TAR for this problem exactly. After several iterations of
fruitless back-n-forth with tech spt, I found the following link:
http://www.orablogs.com/gdavison/archives/000286.html
A thread on this blog recommended, as a workaround, removing/renaming the
following library files:
$ORACLE_HOME/oui/jlib/classes12.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/jdbc/lib/nls_charset12.jar
(A third file was mentioned, but I didn't find it on my server.)
I renamed these files, then the 'dbca' utility worked. (NOTE: 'netca' is also
affected by this.)
I updated the TAR telling Oracle that I wasn't to thrilled with this kludgy way
of doing things. But they apparently didn't have a better answer, as their
response was: (this is cut-n-pasted directly from the TAR)
"The work-around is acceptable and should not cause a problem with other GUI
Apps on your machine."
A final note: the blog is geared toward Mac users, but it worked for my
Windows XP desktop that I use with Reflections-X to talk with the LINUX server.

You know, I have an install of SuSE 8.0 that I installed 9.2.0.1 on

Guess it's the later releases f Linux (9.0 etc ) that just don't like to
play together....

Well, nothing is certified on freeware, but what are the friends for?=20
With enough effort, you can make
it run. It's not certified, but certifiable geeks will find the way.
