Lee,

Was your attempted install on Solaris Intel or SPARC? I have not been able to successfully install Oracle 8i (8.1.6 Enterprise) on Solaris 8 for Intel, and have made a posting in this group stating this (Oracle 8.1.6 installation error on Solaris 8 for Intel).

The error that I am getting is an 'out-of-memory' error. Running the $ORACLE_HOME/admin/oracle/create/oracle1.sh script will generate this error. My thought was that Solaris had to be modified as described in the Oracle pre-installation instructions. Perhaps there is a general incompatiblity with Oracle 8i and Solaris 8.
