Oracle 10gR2 Install RHEL4 compat-libstdc++-296 problem

Question

Trying to install Oracle 10gR2 on an Red Hat Enterprise 4 server and having an issue.
[oracle@xxxxxxxx ~]$ uname -a
Linux xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Sep 25 17:28:02 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[oracle@xxxxxxxx ~]$
The OUI, during Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks reports the following error:
Checking for compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2; found Not found.     Failed <<<<
However, the rpm package is installed:
[oracle@xxxxxxxx ~]$ rpm -q compat-libstdc++-296
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2
[oracle@xxxxxxxx ~]$
The only thing I have been able to find so far is to make sure the package is installed.
There is also another compat-libstdc++ installed:
[oracle@xxxxxxxx ~]$ rpm -q compat-libstdc++-33
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3
[oracle@xxxxxxxx ~]$
is that somehow causing a problem? How does the OUI actuall check for package dependancies?
Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeff, you will have to install other packages from the RHEL4 cd's. Here is a list of what I usually run. Some are in the oracle install docs and some are not. If you are using the CDs then first cd to the cdrom
cd /media/cdrom
rpm -ivh ncompress-4.2.4-40.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh glibc-common-2.3.4-2.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh gcc-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386.rpm --aid
rpm -ivh gcc-c++-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386.rpm --aid
rpm -ivh sysstat-5.0.5-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh libaio-0.3.102-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm
P.S. I usually copy all the files from the install media to a mounted share on my network and it makes this really easy.
