installation fails on linux ubuntu (long)

Greetings,

I'm a java developer wanting to play a little with oracle so I DL te lite 10g version.
JDK1.5 is installed.
The linux machine is an Ubuntu distro.
It has 512Mb RAM, 2800+ and plenty of hd space.

So I unzipped and cpio the file and :
set ORACLE_HOME, set JAVA13_HOME=/applications/jdk1.5.0_02/

then cd /applications/Disk1/runInstaller.sh Continuing with the installation:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.3.1.0.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/linux/bin/java. Please wait...
/applications/Disk1/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.3.1.0.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/linux/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

OK, he doesn't find the lib : I do this :

ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

and I run the installer once again :

the swing pops ok but I get some error messages about being unable to find some fonts :

snipped.
I click on "next" -> no answer
about : pops the little about box.

But if next fails, I'm stuck :(

the Doc says dk 1.4.1 or higher so 1.5 is ok.

I have nothing else of oracle installed.

Can someone give me a hand please ?
