Oracle 8.1.7 and 8.1.6 can be run on redhat 7.2 but you have to go through some
somersaults to get there.  In order to get the installer to run, you need to
have the glibc and  egcs compat libs installed.  See the following web page for
the details:

http://www.orafaq.com/msgboard/unix/messages/395.htm

here is the relevant portion, which refers to redhat 7.1, but also worked for
me with redhat 7.2:

(This was posted under page2 of the Oracle Disscusion Forum - subject:
Instalation (linking) problem with 816 and 817 on RH7.1)
>From the Red Hat 7.1 Seawolf Release-Notes:
"The Oracle installation program (versions 8.1.7, 8.1.6, and possibly others)
does not work properly with glibc 2.2 and above. The problem is that it is
linking object files compiled against different glibc (binary compatibility is
ensured only for linked executables and shared libraries through symbol
versioning). You may work around this by installing the Red Hat Linux 6.2
compatibility packages (compat-egcs, compat-glibc and compat-libs) and issuing
the following commands before running the Oracle installer:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
.  /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386 glibc21-linux-env.sh
The second line exports environment variables which will cause gcc and ld to
look for glibc 2.1.3 compatibility headers and libraries."
It works for me
