Compatibility files for running Oracle on RHEL 4 compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm These rpms provide compatibility files needed for running Oracle on RHEL 4. Install these rpms on your RHEL 4 system using: rpm -ihv compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm rpm -ihv compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm Then refer to the release notes of the Oracle products you are installing or running. This rpm checks for the xorg-x11-deprecated-libs and xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel packages. If these are not installed, get them by selecting "X Software Development" in the Add Remove Software secreen on the RHEL 4 installation. The compat-libcwait-2.1-1 package replaces the older compat-libcwait-2.0-2 package version. The newer one changes the location of the .so to /lib instead of /usr/lib. To install, you first need to uninstall the older version if it present by doing 'rpm -e compat-libcwait' before installing the newer package. Upgrading the older package to the newer one with rpm -U won't work properly. The source for these files is available at: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/
