I had the same problem as yourself. What I had to do was something like the following :

First you need the JRE v1.1.6 patch number 5 (from ftp.blackdown.org) and install it somewhere. Make a symbolic link between the install directory and /usr/local/jre.

What I found was when you run ./runInstaller you get the error 'argument list too long', but if you run the installer shell script instead ( install/linux/runInst.sh) this fixes the problem.

You also need to ensure that you have enough swap space also (roughly 3 times the amount of main memory). My PC has 128Mb of main memory, but it took me several attempts to get it to install correctly.

Hope this is of help.
