hmmm. Are you sure the Oracle patch isn't installed on your system? Everytime I run the installer I get the following error:

• Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8.10/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/solaris/bin/jre. Please wait... SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation si_signo [11]: SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation si_errno [0]: Error 0 si_code [1]: SEGV_MAPERR [addr: 0x50]

I've installed all the required Solaris patches, the latest Java from Sun (1.3.1_02), made all the kernel mods and environmental variables and I still get this error. I have 128 mb of memory installed on the system.

What's the secret for a successful installation then?
