Re: Oracle 8.1.5 on Redhat 6.0 - jre problem

Mathew,

I ran into the same problem when I installed 8.15 on Redhat 6.0. Turns out 64 megs is NOT enough memory. In order for 8.15 to install on this properly I had to upgrade to 128 megs of RAM. It then ran fine (I used IBM's 1.1.8 jdk BTW, but the blackdown version 116v5 should also work). Also I have a PII 350 with about 25 gigs of HD. The install should not be a problem with more memory.

If you do get the installer up, everything should work fine but be warned - DO NOT accept the default database during the database creation step - under 8.15 version of the installer, this doesn't work. Select everything by hand and the dbassist will work fine. Then your up and running.
