Oracle 9.2

While trying to install the Oracle client on a server, the team got an
error. Searching for this error on google found the following where
someone hit the same error:
<URL:http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/dont-install-oracle-on-linux-servers-with-long-kernel-names/>.

Basically, if the kernel name has more than 30 characters, the OUI
will crash. We're using both SLES8 and SLES9 (SUSE installs). On the
SLES 8 servers we're fine: $ uname -r |wc
1 1 19
as it only has 18 chars, and indeed the OUI worked there. The failing
server is SLES9: $ uname -r | wc
1 1 43
and the 42 character kenel name is ostensibly causing the issue.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround other than recompiling
the kernel?

Brian, Besides Kevin's blog entry on this problem if there is anywhere
else where a post on this issue may be found (my metalink search
turned up nothing) it might be in the Oracle-L archives available via
freelists.org.

Thanx for looking. Searching for "glibc detected" on Oracle-L
<URL:http://www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/archive-search.fcgi?query=glibc+detected&list=oracle-l>
came up with nothing. Though, glibc shows up a few times, seems to be
as a requirement check or the like.

Is it possible to just copy the client files from a box with it
already installed to the new box? We're on Linux and it's just for
sqlldr (and the client itself).
