Sounds like you are having the same problems I am having. I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.6 on my RedHat Linux machine. I type in the Oracle81R2 directory:\

        ./runInstaller
and I get a error message:

        bash: ./runInstaller: No such file or directory I read on a RedHat install of Oracle that this runInstaller does not work on RedHat Linux (Bug:1117931 - unsure if this is a Oracle bug - any ideas where to read up on it in more detail). At any rate, it said to run the installer from the following directory:

	$ cd install/linux
	$ ./runInstaller

but when I do this, I it tells me
	The Java RunTime Environment was not found at

/bin/jre. Hence the Oracle installler cannot be run. Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.1.8 or higher and try again. : No such file or directory

I have installed the jre and it is in my path. I put it at /usr/local/jre118 and then made a symbolic link to it at /usr/local/jre. It is also in my path:

PATH=/usr/local/jre/bin:/bin/jre etc...

. I also made a symbolic link to /bin/jre to point to /usr/local/jre118.

Any help is appreciated.
