Yes, the same problem happens when 9i is installed on RedHat 7.2.

Run this --

sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=100000000

The add it to /etc/sysctl.conf

That will get your runInstaller working. You will run into other issues as well.

a.. When you get errors from OUI installer, open a window, and cd to the Oracle Home installation target location. b.. Set Oracle environment ORACLE_HOME to this target directory. c.. Use editor to modify $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh file, to remove "-z defs" from it.
d.. Then run this script $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh to create Oracle libraries.
e.. Go back to OUI error window, and click on "retry" botton to continue.
