Hi,

I believe you are correct.

I have an Intel system here at home with 2 x 40Gb hard drives which I can boot from separately.

On one HDD I have installed RedHat Linux 6.2 (glibc-2.1.3) and Oracle 8.1.7 EE, the other I have installed Solaris 8 (Intel Platform Edition) and Oracle 8.1.7 EE (Release 3 for Solaris Intel).

Within the Sun Solaris 8 (Intel) CDROM box came numerous CDROM's - one being an Oracle 8.1.7 for Solaris 8 (Intel).



Thanks,

If you buy Sun's Solaris 8 media kit ($45), I believe that comes with
Oracle8i EE for Solaris Intel.

I'm having trouble installing Oracle 8i Enterprise on a Sun Solaris 8
Intel box. I finally get around to reading the documentation which
says Sun SPARC, but AFAIK there should be no difference between SPARC
and Intel once Solaris is running. Am I wrong?
The error I get from runInstaller on CD 1 which returns the message:
"./runInstaller: syntax error at line 1: `(´ unexpected"
after it calls the /install/solaris/runInstaller binary.

Any advice or information would be appreciated
