1.Download from from redhat.com required version of src.rpm for glibc, supposedly glibc-2.3.2-11.9.src.rpm

2. rpm -i glibc-2.3.2-11.9.src.rpm

3. cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

4 bzip2 -dc glibc-2.3.2-20030313.tar.bz2 | tar xf - -C /tmp

5.cd /tmp/glibc-2.3.2-20030313/locale

6. Comment out all compat_symbols lines in file lc-ctype.c

7. cd ../ctype

8. Comment out all compat_symbols lines in file ctype-info.c

9. cd ..;cd ..;pwd
/tmp

10. tar cvf glibc-2.3.2-20030313.tar glibc-2.3.2-20030313

11. bzip2 glibc-2.3.2-20030313.tar

12. cp glibc-2.3.2-20030313.tar.bz2 /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

13. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

14. vi glbc-9.spec

15. Add to the end of glibcrelease line (line 1) .oracle.
(11.9 now looks as 11.9.oracle)
and save

15. rpmbuild ûba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/glbc-9.spec

In my case at the end rpms were written to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 folder

16.Download from [1]:

At this point run as oracle:
make -f ORACLE_HOME/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk install

This time you will be succeed due patched rpms installed.

Then grap from $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh all commands required
to install right permissions for dbsnmp and dependent directories and
run them as root.
Next steps:
$agentctl start
$oemctl start oms

You are ready to run OEM console.
