I had this same problem (although mine was on debian ) and solved it by using a newer java engine.I opened up $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca and changed JRE_DIR to point to a local working copy of the JRE. Assuming that you have a relatively recent copy of the JRE, you'll also need to change two lines toward the bottom. $JRE_DIR/bin/jre will now become $JRE_DIR/bin/java. Then I restarted dbca and everything ran fine.
