Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.tools -> Re: help with 8i installation
Sounds like you are having the same problems I am having. I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.6 on my RedHat Linux machine. I type in the Oracle81R2 directory:\
./runInstaller
and I get a error message:
bash: ./runInstaller: No such file or directory I read on a RedHat install of Oracle that this runInstaller does not work on RedHat Linux (Bug:1117931 - unsure if this is a Oracle bug - any ideas where to read up on it in more detail). At any rate, it said to run the installer from the following directory:
$ cd install/linux $ ./runInstaller but when I do this, I it tells me The Java RunTime Environment was not found at/bin/jre. Hence the Oracle installler cannot be run. Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.1.8 or higher and try again. : No such file or directory
I have installed the jre and it is in my path. I put it at /usr/local/jre118 and then made a symbolic link to it at /usr/local/jre. It is also in my path:
PATH=/usr/local/jre/bin:/bin/jre etc...
. I also made a symbolic link to /bin/jre to point to /usr/local/jre118.
Any help is appreciated.
