Hello,
I'm trying to do an install of 8.1.6 client tools onto a Linux box...RedHat 7.1.

I have actually done this before, but, forgot to put on IMP an EXP. I've set the following:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh

I've got the jre 116_v5 installed....and a link at /usr/local/jre pointing to it..and this is set up correctly in the oracle users .bash_profile.

I've even tried it with the jre 1.1.8....but no luck.

I have xhost set, and have done everything I can think of that I've read or done before to get this to work. However, when I do ./runInstaller I get:

bash: ./runInstaller: bad interpreter: Permission denied

I had a brain leak..and thought maybe the 9i client tools would work. I CAN get thost cd's to runInstaller..I used it to uninstal what client stuff I did have on the machine for 8i (just sqlplus)..and it seemed to remove all just fine. I installed the 9i client tools..then figured out the exp/imp for an 8i DB won't work...so, I uninstalled all the 9i stuff.

The only thing I can think of that has changed on my box since I last successfully installed 8i client tools from this cd...is I think I installed Java 2...however, as the oracle user, I don't see anything from this (java give no file found)....and it seems to see which ever jre I want it to through the /usr/local/jre link.

I cannot find but one post on USENET for this error...and it appears to be in Italian...so, cannot understand the problem or possible resolution they discussed..and I cannot find any thing specific to this message on metalink using the search.

I'm severly stuck...please help...I need to run these client tools, especially the imp/exp against Oracle 8.1.6 instances.

Thank you,
