Just for the record, installing compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm on
RedHat 9 caused no problems. It didn't solve my problem, though, as
another part of the install wanted GLIBC_2.2. For now, I've given up
as Oracle do not yet offer support for RedHat 9 and manually building
my own GLIBC seemed excessive.

Cheers,
