I had the same problem ... as you can see - it can not find /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/jre, allthough you have jdk118 installed and set in your path. For some reason the installer doesn't use the installed jdk but instead uses the one that comes with the Oracle software. I can't really remember exactly what I did but I think I made /tmp/OraInstall read only - so that the installer couldn't overwrite it again. Then I made a shitload of symbolic links so that /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/jre did run (including lib etc)
Also I didn't run runInstaller from CD - so I think I also edited the runInstaller script ...
It's very blury to me right now because I installed 9i on redhat 7.1 during the nights on a Pentium MMX 233MHz :-) and so I hope you don't mind me not running it again for some time... Hope it helped a bit - there's a path somewhere through the forest of symbolic links ... probably someone will have a better solution...

cheers,
Kurt
