Ran 'sudo ldconfig -p' (just print, don't do anything) and search for pthread:

        libpthread.so.0 (libc6,x86-64, OS ABI: Linux 2.6.8) =>
/lib/libpthread.so.0
        libpthread.so.0 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.6.8) => /lib32/libpthread.so.0


As for ld.so.conf:

oracle@pe2950:~/install/database$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

oracle@pe2950:~/install/database$ ls /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
libc.conf x86_64-linux-gnu.conf

oracle@pe2950:~/install/database$ # libc.conf says
/usr/local/lib ... python stuff only

oracle@pe2950:~/install/database$ # x86_64-linux-gnu.conf says
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (empty)
oracle@pe2950:~/install/database$ #                        and
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu also empty


Tried doing
$ sudo /sbin/ldconfig -v -n /lib32 /usr/lib32

and re-running the installer, same error, same message.

Oracle 'Universal Installer'. Java. Write Once, Run... Pah.
