Oracle 9i client on opensuse 10.1

I am having no luck installing the oracle 9i client on opensuse 10.1. I
have scoured the web for some docs and found quite a few,,but the closest
was for NLD which apparantly has some orarun package that opensuse does
not. Has anyone successfully install oracle 9i client on suse 10.1??

Perhaps if you described your difficulty - i.e what you did and what
error messages you got - someone might help

'It doesn't work' is a little difficult to diagnose.

Very true. When I execute ./runInstaller I get this:

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall2006-07-19_11-36-50AM/jre/bin/java. Please wait...
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: /tmp/OraInstall2006-07-19_11-36-50AM/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

I caught a tid somewhere that said GCC should not be installed---so maybe
that is part of the error.
