Install Problem on 8.1.6 / Linux

Just curious if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction.

All went very smoothly installing the "Typical" configuration (using the X-based Oracle Global Installer) - until the dbassist utility was launched to try and configure (install) the default database. I tried it repeatedly with various options, but each time it failed right away with the same Java VM stack trace (InstallActions log file, below). I haven't got any idea how to debug this - let alone what might be wrong.

My platform is Redhat 6.1/Intel. Thanks very much for any suggestions you might have!
