I'm tempted to say it's a glibc problem. Since SuSE uses such a heavily patched glibc, comparing their version to ours is like aplles to oranges. If you have the time maybe you could look through the SuSE src.rpm and see if any of the patches fix the problem, but that'll be pretty time consuming. You could also ask around on some SuSE mailing lists, etc. to see if anybody can tell you what patch it is. If you can find the patch that fixes it, we can add it to the glibc ebuild An Oracle support person did investigate this problem. Thumbs up for Oracle support ! He explained the following: Currently Oracle 8.1.7 and 9i releases are packaged and developed to be compatible with glibc-2.1 and 2.2. So not with glibc 2.3. Although Oracle links quite fine on 2.3.1 on Gentoo and the patched glibc 2.3.2 of Suse, Oracle does not support higher glibc versions yet. Of course RedHat AS and the United Linux distro's, officialy certified by Oracle, will use glibc 2.3 in newer releases. So we installed Gentoo 1.4_rc4 and not 1.4. And we keep glibc on 2.3.1 until then. Doesn't get any later than this. |
