What's really wrong

When you wonder what's wrong with the world,
Just remember one thing:


By definition, 50% of the population has an IQ of less than 100.



give 'em a break every once and a while.

Oracle Calendar 10g on Linux

WooHoo! We got the new Oracle Calendar clients today.

And, the joy of a broken "Install Anywhere" installer for Linux (or maybe Oracle just doesn't know how to use it).

Get lots of errors like:

nawk: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/bin/ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
hostname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Solution:
cp cal_linux cal_linux.bak
cat cal_linux.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > cal_linux
rm cal_linux.bak


Installer works great after that.
