Linux 9i install hangs at Net Config Assistant

Question

I am installing 9i on Red Had 7.3 and the install program just stops when it gets to the Net Configuration Assistant. No err, but the process using up > 90% of the CPU. All the buttons on the install GUI are greyed out, so there is no way to go with the install of the rest of the tools.
In the install I also had an make err with OraHome1/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk.
Can you help me out with this?
Regards, Cary

I found the solution to the ins_ctx.mk issue at http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml. To cut to the issue, here is what worked:
Edit $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk and go to "INSO_LINK =", add a "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" to the line and save it.
Here is the full line with the added "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" flag:
INSO_LINK = -L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)dl $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ex $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_da $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ut $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ch $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fi $(LLIBCTXHX) $(LDLIBFLAG)c -Wl,-rpath,$(CTXHOME)lib $(CORELIBS) $(COMPEOBJS)
After that hit retry in the error popup.
If you go to the page, the requied entry is bolded in the section where it has been added (its the third entry), making it much easier to see.
The page is an excellent guide to installing Oracle. However, it did not offer guidance to the Net Configuration problem, which I am also encountering. Anyone else have any info?
