(Problem solved) Re: oracle8i linux installation (class java/lang/Thread not found!)

I found out the problem. Looking at installerActions.log, the OUI was spawning the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant with a classpath of /usr/local/jre/lib/rt.jar.

However, the runtime classes of blackdown's 1.1.6v5 are NOT in rt.jar but in classes.zip. So I made a link:

ln -s classes.zip rt.jar

And it worked. However, I still got some message saying: "No character sets found" or something like that, but Oracle Database Configuration Assistant still continued.

About the ibm 1.1.8 jdk, I tried it but is does not have the -green parameter (for green threads), so it did not work. Well, I could have removed the -green parameter from the oracle scripts. Hmmmm...
