Very Computer

Hi,
  I've curently got a system running Redhat Linux 5.2 and Oracle 8.0.5.
the database seems to be set up ok but when I try to load data into it I get
the following:

SQL*Loader-501: Unable to read file (/home/cdrin/import/loadfile.dat)
Linux Error: 14: Bad address

Any ideas anybody??

Thanks

This is a follow-up post to inform all users reading this newsgroup of
a bug in SQL*Loader for Linux.  There is a patch available which can
be obtained from Oracle Support which involves the replacement of one
element of the libcommon.a library and then re-linking SQL*Loader.

Instructions:
1) Download sllf.o file into a location other than $ORACLE_HOME/lib  
   (as BINARY type)
2) cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
3) cp sqlldr sqlldr.010299
4) cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib
5) cp libcommon.a libcommon.a.010299
6) ar xv libcommon.a sllf.o
7) mv sllf.o sllf.o.010299
8) ar rv libcommon.a <location of new object>/sllf.o
9) cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
10) make -f ins_rdbms.mk isqlldr

Any questions, please e-mail me and I can supply the necessary file.
