Hi

I am struggling with an Oracle 9i install on RedHat 8. I did run into the make problem as detailed on
http://staff.in2.hr/denis/oracle/92install_rh80_en.html, but it worked successfully after adding -ldl to the make file. At the end of the process when it tried to run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant
Initially I was getting an error saying that the file /usr/oracle/OraHome/oracle.swd.jre/bin/i386/native_threads/jre did not exist, so I create a link to
/usr/oracle/OraHome/oracle.swd.jre/bin/i686/native_threads/jre

I am now trying to resolve the following errors.

Oracle Net Configuration Assistant
Error: Illegal option: -native
Java(tm) Runtime Loader Version 1.1.8
Usage: jre [-options] classname [arguments] Options:

Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
Error: Could not locate Java runtime

Agent Configuration Assistant
Error: Could not create Java VM

For the first error, I create a script containing the listed command, and removed the -native flag, I then got the "Could not locate Java runtime" error even though rt.jar was in the -classpath parameter.

/usr/oracle/OraHome/JRE/bin/jre
-Duser.dir=/usr/oracle/OraHome/network/jlib -classpath

Other Google posts suggests that you get the error "Could not locate Java runtime" when you have installed the JDK and not the JRE. I did have the Sun JDK (rpm) installed, but that was removed and nothing has changed.

Any help would be appreciated, as I am now at a loss as what to try next.

Thanks
