Hello Kim,

You need at least 96 Mb of physical memory to be able to run the installer.
I don't know what Linux you are running but the following lines wich come from the Redhat 7.1 release notes may be helpfull.

1.The Oracle installation program (versions 8.1.7, 8.1.6, and possibly others) does not work properly with glibc 2.2 and above. The problem is that it is linking object files compiled against different glibc (binary compatibility is ensured only for linked executables and shared libraries through symbol versioning).
You may work around this by installing the Red Hat Linux 6.2 compatibility packages (compat-egcs, compat-glibc and compat-libs) and issuing the following commands before running the Oracle installation program:

      export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
      . /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh

     The second line exports environment variables which will cause gcc

and ld to look for glibc 2.1.3 compatibility headers and libraries.
