Sorry for the late reply,
Just wanted to mention you can avoid the hassles of relinking under Linux
"emulation" during your oracle 8i setup.
Just setup a temporary linux installation (say a debian or old redhat) on a
spare computer, install your oracle version there and create an empty db.
Then transfer the application and db folders (plus a couple of files from
/etc if i remember well) to your freebsd box, which only need to have linux
"emul." running, oracle uid / oinstall gid kept the same number and using
a linux shell (/compat/linux/bin/bash for instance), and the FreeBSD kernel
adjusted and rebuilt (SHM and SEM values mainly, USER_LDT for 4.x).
This is probably not a complete/accurate list of steps, but you probably get
the idea. If you need more details i can dig deeply in my archives.
