Re: Oracle bI 2nd request
Stan,
Oracle works ok on Debian potato.
Be sure to not to use libc6 greater than 2.1.3 because Oracle as from 8.1.6 doens't
works with glibc2.2 (only 2.1)
If you wait me for 2 days I will post install instructions for Debian on a site...
.and for 128 Mb no problems at all!.....and yes it comes with jre 1.1.8
If someone can compile php4 with oci8 support please notify me
thanks,
jaume
