One of the pre-requisite before installing any database software is to check if the platform that you are going to install your database in is supported by that platform. For instance, if you are going to install Oracle database on Linux, it is recommended to check the “Database Installation Guide for Linux” and check the operating system checklist.
On April 25th 2019, Oracle database 19c became available to downloaded from Oracle.com. Regardless of the new features, software libraries and so on one difference from the previous release made me think – OL6 isn’t supported at this database version. For those who thought to do the OCM (Oracle Certified Master) 12c exam and were performing tests at OL6 platforms e/or worked in projects where you had to install Oracle database 12c on operating systems OL6 this is no longer possible at 19C database version. Otherwise, you may try but you will get stuck in this error:
/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not
And here are the official information from Oracle documentation:
