Download jre 1.4.1_02 from http://java.sun.com, then copy the
installation disks to hard disk, then link the new jre to the installer:
cd Disk1/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.3.1.0.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre
mv linux linux.ORIG
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02 linux
Now try runInstaller. If it works, that means the issue is with the jre, although you still won't be able to complete installation using j2re1.4.1_02 because some of the installer filenames are hard coded into the installer java app I think (from personal experience).
Cheers,
Dave
