Hi.. thanks for replying.

I am using Slackware 8, kernel 2.4.9 and glibc 2.2.3.

I choosed a custom installation, and only removed advanced security and added Unix docs. I do not create a database when installing.

Installation goes fine, except for the root.sh script that needs a few things fixed manually (need "" around 2nd occurence of RMF= and also had to replace RUID line with RUID=root because of a missing `), the Net8 configuration assistant runs without problem, the listener and the Apache server are started successfully.

Now it is where I don't know what to do. If I try to run netasst or dbassist, the jre proces just eats all cpu cycle and does nothing else.

I installed the glibc stubs and ran the setup-stubs.sh script, no errors there, but it changes nothing in netasst or dbassist appetite.

I tried with Blackdown's JDK118_v3 and JRE118-glibc-2.1.3 (not sure of the 2nd filename) as JAVA_HOME and it is always the same.

In despair, I tried replacing the /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8 that comes with oracle with Blackdown's and added "linux" symlinks in both bin and lib directory. netasst starts and I can setup a few things but name servers options makes it crashes with a segfault. dbassist, again, only eats all cpu cycle (jre does).

I read (unfortunetaly too fast) something about green vs native threads with jre. Something about changing "native" occurences with "green". In blackdown's jre/jdk, there is a greeen_threads directory, but not in Oracles'.
