Oracle 9i install problem on Redhat 7.1

Question

Hi there,
I have some problems during the installation of Oracle 9i on RedHat 7.1:
All is ok untill the install of "linking Oracle 9i installation"
by this time it runs some makefiles to link and install files.
It requires a library called libclntsh that does not exist.
I tried to run the genclntsh script to build it, but the load failed with the following errors:

set this with your enivornment and see if it can help?
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 Hi
I installed 9i to a SuSe 8.0 with the suggested environment variable turned on and I still had the same problem. As the Installer complained I manually linked the modules, for example, by running
make -f ./ins_ldap.mk odipinstall
and I had the same error with the message:
/usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [odisrv] Error 1
It seems that a library missing (libclntsh.a ?)
Can anyone help?
