The problem is the dynamic linker. An executable contains a reference to the dynamic linker, and this reference includes only the major version number of the dynamic linker (thus, glibc-2.0 and 2.1 conflict, since both have the same major version number). So, if the Oracle executables are linked against glibc-2.1, and your /lib/ld-linux.so.2 points towards glibc-2.0, segfaults are likely to occur. To check it, ls -l /lib/ld-linux.so.2. If it is glibc-2.0, it will be a symlink to ld-2.0.x.so, otherwise it will be a symlink to ld-2.1.x.so. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
