Please bear with this thread - I have responded to the group just in case someone can learn from this. The problem has been solved...<BR>

I appreciate all of your help...<BR>
<BR>
The "java -version" and "ldd /{path_to_java}/bin/java" commands did not return anything and I do not have a $JAVA_HOME. So....best I can tell I did not install any version of Java with the default Linux install, but Oracle did install the JDK and JRE - two versions 1.1.8 and 1.1.3. Therefore, I am assuming that Oracle uses its own version of the JRE since the script it is executing is UNSETting the $JAVA_HOME - shocking that Oracle does not want to play nice with any version of Java - but that is Larry Ellison for you...<BR>
<BR>
What I found was that dbca script points to the JRE 1.1.8 (which is default) I get the SEGSEGV error. But I just now pointed to the JRE 1.1.3 and the dbca execution worked. - I chose to do this based on the education each of you provided in the previous emails.<BR>
<BR>
Going forward - I will download the latest JDK and JRE from Sun and install them to hopefully avoid any future problems and ensure that I have a version of Java to run with. <BR>

To answer your question on the glibc problems:<BR>
<BR>
My initial glibc problem was related to the Red Hat 9 downloaded version </FONT><FONT COLOR="#0000ff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">glibc-2.3.2-11.9 - </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">which is not compatible with Oracle 9i R2</FONT><FONT COLOR="#0000ff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>
</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>
So I downgraded to:<BR>
<BR>
glibc-2.3.2-5.i686.rpm<BR>
glibc-common-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm<BR>
glibc-devel-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm<BR>
<BR>
Which would have worked fine but my computer is too old for the glibc i686 version, so I needed to load the i386 package which worked around that problem and allowed the Oracle Installer to run.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks a bunch for all of your help. I really appreciate it.<BR>
