What version of linux are you running. I tried installing Oracle 8I on RedHat 6.0 and then 6.1. 6.0 was sweet, 6.1 was a case of hacking about and ignoring the main installer shell script.
Also, silly as it may sound, if the PATH for jre is not exported then only the shell which reads the PATH definition will see jre.
