Hello Kevin,
I assume that you try to install Oracle 8.1.7 on LINUX RH 7.1. If this is the case, you are very close, two or three things missing in your .profile.

# snippet form my bash_profile
#oracle stuff
#uncomment next line,  only needed during install (as far as I konw, never
needed it after installation of the software) #DISPLAY=192.168.5.9:0.0 <-- or loop back 127.0.0.1:0.0, see ###1. # also tell Oracle, where the specific libs are: set LD_IBRARY_PATH="$ORACLE_HOME/lib"
# next line is for the JRE ( your error message!). # For more info, take a look at URL
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/content.html # doc_name linux_installguide_817.pdf, chap 1 Linux Installation specific issues, JRE
# Note: Do not mix up JDK (needed for HTTP Apache) with JRE (needed for UniversalInstaller).
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/JRE/lib # export all the stuff. end snippet

###1.do a xhost+ from your terminal inside X-Windows (look at linux_installguide_817.pdf, chap2 tasks to perform as oracle user).

One more caveat: It may occur, that your installer doesn't run despite all your work :(.
In those cases, take a look at
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/files/READMEglib213.html for the patch description.

You can also drop me a line at my e-mail address. Good luck
