Hello Leon,
at first sight, you have only 9 MB physical RAM left, that's far too small for OUI.
Are there any other RAM-consuming processes running during your install? Run a "top" to see what processes are CPU/RAM-consuming and "ps aux" to get a list of current running processes (includes sleeping, daemons processes). Kill all the processes that are not needed to install Oracle EE.

Your glibc is far too new for an Oracla 8.1.7 install. That's a known problem with the consequence that OUI wan't start up. You have version 2.2.3, Oracle bins are compiled against glibc-2.1.3: <snip from patch description starts>



Patch Description
 

Oracle8i for Linux is shipped with archived objects which were compiled using
glibc-2.1.3. The executable components are then linked at install-time using
these archives. Due to compatibility limitations in glibc, if the target
system for an installation is based on a later version of glibc, then the
executables produced by the linker will not be valid. As a workaround to
this limitation, we have created a set of stub libraries which are used at
link-time only to mimic the contents of glibc-2.1.3 shared objects. Note
that these stub libraries do not contain valid executable code, and therefore
*must NOT* be included in the library path searched by the dynamic loader
(i.e., do not include $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH). </snip from patch description>

I assume same version problem applies to egcs and libs. Please take a look at follwing URL
http://www.idevelopment.info/
"DBA Scripts" "#54". The doc describes the install procedure at RH 7.1/7.2, but I assume the basics I've outlined applies also to tubolinux. Use it in conjunction with the documentation supplied with Oracle to make your installation.
Hope that helps, please post any further questions, problems

Good luck
