Re: Installing 8iEE on RedHat 6.0 - help!!!!

It's entirely possible it's a memory problem, since Oracle recommends a minimum
of 128MB RAM, or 256MB for some Java components.

However, to be sure, you probably want a more detailed error message. What I
usually do is run the program (sqlplus, svrmgr, whatever) under strace:

   strace -o tracefile svrmgr
this will put a trace of system calls in the tracefile. You want to look at the
last few, for system calls that failed, or for signals if any got processed.
This will usually help to narrow down the cause of the trouble. There will be
a LOT of output, so just focus on the end of the trace.
