I do not recognize your symptoms, but to install Oracle 9i on RedHat 7.1 at all, you need to upgrade/downgrade the binutils package. You can get a newer version from ftp.kernel.org .

Remember also not to activate runInstaller from a directory included in the path to runInstaller. If for example you have the unpackaged Oracle files in /home/oracle/oracle9i you should start the runInstaller from a directory different from /home, /home/oracle, and /home/oracle/oracle9i .

A little crazy yes, but thats how I managed to get it work.
