Re: Install Oracle8i on Linux

Get jre1.1.7v3 from www.blackdown.org (several people had the same problem as yours with 1.1.6v5). Then try again. I installed 8i Enterprise Edition on my OpenLinux (kernel 2.2). There was one catch with my runInstaller - I had to do ./runInstaller -h
Why that worked I have no clue... I was desperate at that moment and looking for some command line help. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised.

Post if you were successful or not. What's your Linux version and distribution?
