I have successfully installed Oracle Grid Control 10.2.0.3.0 Linux
x86-64 on Red Hat 5.1. Here are some of the issues I had to resolve......

1. RH 5 not supported so instead of using the -ignoresysprereqs switch
on the installer I modified the /etc/redhat-release file with the latest
RH 4 version info
2. Create a Sym link - /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 to /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0
3. OPMN process fails to start during installation - manually issued the
"opmnctl startall" command and clicked CONTINUE on installer.
4. Ignored the warning on the following packages not being installed
(pdksh (we have another ksh package installed), gnome-libs....,
xscreensaver-...) - Clicked "User Verified"
None of the ignored packages are available for RH 5

Thanks to all who offered advice,
-Bill
