Fail to install 9i on W2k which 8i exist~~

Question

I want to install 9i on w2k,which also have 8i.
When the installer proceed on the dialog which ask me if
I want to migrate database of 8i to 9i,whether I choose now or
later,the screen will stop on the dialog whose title is "dealing
with database configuration assistant..."
Why can't I upgrade??? Do I miss some important step to decide?
I have installed 9i according to the document "Migrating from
Oracle7 Using the Oracle Data Migration Assistant",but still not
work.Although it is from 7i to 9i,I think the situation is the
same.
So,please slove my problem,thanks!!

Answer 1

Linking was still failing for me on my
system. I have Red Hat 7.1 and I was
trying to install Oracle9i Database.
The error I had while the system was trying
to build libclntsh.so.9 (built by genclntsh) was
/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_lazy@GLIBC_2.1.1'
/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_dst_substitute@GLIBC_2.1.1'
/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_out_of_memory@GLIBC_2.2'
/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_relocate_object@GLIBC_2.0'
/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_clktck@GLIBC_2.2'
As well as an undefined reference to
__cmpdi2.
I just hacked my way out by adding the
libraries that seem to contain these symbols.
I just completed the installation and my
setup seems to be working.
My linking problems was resolved by
changing the following line in genclntsh:
SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96 -lgcc -ldl -lm -lc /lib/ld-linux.so.2"
#SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -ldl -lm -lc"
(The commented out line was the original
line). Basically __cmpdi2 is defined in
libgcc.a and the other dl symbols are
define in /lib/ld-linux.so.2.
Hope this helps someone.
BTW, the change is done during the install,
when the system starts linking, an
error message is displayed. I made the
fix, than manually ran
sh -x /home/dba/OraHome1//bin/genclntsh
in the /home/dba/OraHome1/plsql/lib directory
(where the offending makefile was failing).
When genclntsh succeeded, I simply clicked
on retry in the install popup and the Oracle
installation proceeded with no additional
hickups
