Hi Michael,

I've just been through quite a painful process of trying to get 8.1.5 installed on RedHat 6.2. We kept getting errors withe installer - it basically did nothing!

Eventually, we went to the install/linux directory (I think) where there was a runInstaller executable, and a runIns.sh shell script. Running the runIns.sh worked for a while, until we modified our .bashrc to set up the oracle environment. Then it wouldnt run either. We cat-ted the runIns.sh, which basically called/loaded a lot of jave modules, and then had 3 paramaeters right at the end (%1 %2 %3). We then 'executed' a cat runIns.sh by typing `cat runIns.sh` (the quote is the mark below the tilde character ~), and then it worked.

But the final solution was to get a copy of 8.1.6, and it installed like a dream. Out only problem now is creating a DAD for the OAS Oracle Application Server we have installed as well.

Let me know if this helps at all, and if you fix it, tell me what / how you did it. I am not a Linux expert, but can get by in Unix.

Regards
