Hi All,

I'm attempting to install Oracle 9i on a Solaris 9 box. The server is headless, so I am attempting to install from a remote PC. (I copied the contents of the 3 cd's into their own directories on the Solaris server.) When I run the runInstaller script, I get a splash screen of the Oracle Universal Installer. Almost immediately afterwards, I receive the following error:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM. Unexpected Signal : 8 occurred at PC=0xf502d670 Function name=Java_sun_awt_motif_MFramePeer_pGetIconSize Library=/tmp/OraInstall2003-09-23_02-57-22PM/jre/lib/sparc/motif21/libmawt.s o

I've searched previous postings and didn't find any other articles about this. I tried setting the environment variable NO_J2D_DGA=true but received the same error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
