Hello folks,

Does anyone get the same errors with me?

when installing Oracle 8.1.6 on OpenLinux 6.4, Universal Installer never starts.(I've tried several times)

Executing ./runInstaller , got the following error messages:

# cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
# ./runInstaller

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...

I've downloaded jre_1.1.7-v3-glibc-x86.tar.gz and linked it to /usr/local/jre.

I added something in .bash_profile :

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.5;export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=mydb;export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/oracle/app/oracle;export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_TERM=xterm;export ORACLE_TERM
ORACLE_OWNER=oracle;export ORACLE_OWNER

ORA_NLS33=/u01/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/ocommon/nls/admin/data;export ORA_NLS33
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
NLS_LANG=american;export NLS_LANG
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jre;export JAVA_HOME

PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin"
PATH=$PATH:/u01/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jre/bin:/usr/local/jdk/bin:/bin:/sbin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11;export PATH
