Oracle 8i (8.1.7), FreeBSD 5.1 i386 installation questions

[Jon Adams]

Dima,

    Thanks for the response, but I do have libdl

east# ls -l /compat/linux/lib | grep dl
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    65473 Mar  6  2003 libdl-2.2.4.so
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       14 Jul 26 15:25 libdl.so.2 -> libdl-2.2.4.so

for some reason its not seeing it though.  One of the first things I did 
post-install was enable linux emulation and install dev-tools,
needed it to get my J2SDK and Tomcat up and running.

I also rebuilt the kernel with the Oracle settings for Shared Memory and 
Semaphores

do I need to put a -L somewhere in the oracle files, do I need to modify 
my LD_INCLUDE_PATH ?
 
my paths looks like this:
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/data/oracle/bin:/compat/linux/bin:/compat/linux/sbin:/compat/linux/usr/bin:/compat/linux/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/ora/app/bin
SSH_TTY=/dev/ttyp1

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/ora/app/lib

my oracle sources are in /data/oracle/Disk1, I am installing it in /ora

I am hoping to move to 5.3 as soon as I get the chance...  but I need 
the DBMS online like yesterday

I am thinking this is something small, but since I am a recent convert 
to FreeBSD, I just dont know where to look to fix it.
