Oracle 9i install error on FC3

[Jean Francois Martinez]

>From Fedora Core TWO

compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96
compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96

>From Fedora Core THREE
compat-db

Also you have to move gcc 3 out of the way and
rename/symlink /usr/bin/gcc296 into /usr/bin/gcc

Same thing for g++.  Oracle installer is looking
for /usr/bin/gcc not the first gcc in $PATH
so trying to cheat it by having a symlink in
a directory who comes before /usr/bin in the PATH
will not work.

You will find plenty of info in
http://oracle-base.com/articles/9i/Oracle9iInstallationOnFedora1.php

Pay special attention at the tweaks you have to do in order to have
Oracle use your JVM instead of its own since this one will not start
with Fedora 3.
