Re: I still can't install Oracle on Linux - help

The Java that comes with Oracle is broke. Sorry.

Here's how you can make it work, at least it did for me using SuSE 7.1 and Oracle 8.1.7.

Get the 1.1.8 Java from www.blackdown.org

Here's where my ORACLE_HOME/JRE points:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 34 Apr 18 17:52
/u02/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/JRE -> /u02/app/oracle/product/jre
/1.1.8/

So in my case, I would go to /u02/app/oracle/product/jre and perform the following:

rename your oracle 1.1.8 directory to 1.1.8.oracle

install blackdown to 1.1.8.blackdown

create a virtual link from blackdown to 1.1.8

     ln -s 1.1.8.blackdown 1.1.8

now your $ORACLE_HOME/JRE points to /u02/app/oracle/product/jre
/1.1.8.blackdown/

Here's what my directory looks like:

9:44-sherlock:ts01:jkstill-6 > l
total 28

drwxr-xr-x    5 oracle   dba          4096 May 26 11:32 ./
drwxrwxr-x    6 oracle   dba          4096 Apr 18 23:29 ../
lrwxrwxrwx    1 oracle   dba            15 May 26 11:32 1.1.8 ->
1.1.8.blackdown/
drwxr-xr-x    4 oracle   dba          4096 Apr 18 17:52 1.1.8.blackdown/
drwxr-xr-x    4 oracle   dba          4096 Apr 18 17:51 1.1.8.oracle/
drwxr-xr-x    6 oracle   dba          4096 Apr 18 17:51 3.0.02/
-rw-r--r--    1 oracle   dba          7142 May 14 00:27 javacore16556.txt

You will also need the patch for SuSE 7.1. It's available at http://technet.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/software_index.htm

You need to click on the 8.1.7 for Linux link, go through the license page. You
will find the patch on the download page.

Hi,

I have the following environment:
Suse 7.1, Oracle 8.1.6, 256 Mb Ram, KDE, Java runtime (I hope I installed it correctly).

When I run the Installer from Kde, it makes nothing, but if I run from terminal window
I get a very long list ended by an OK.

I'm going to paste below the whole message, I hope somebody will help :

oracle_at_linux:~ > cd /cdrecorder
oracle_at_linux:/cdrecorder > ./runInstaller
oracle_at_linux:/cdrecorder > Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre.

Please wait...
SIGSEGV received at bfffd994 in
