I am getting the same error that you initially reported (see below) When I run dbca.

  jre was not found in
/opt/oracle/oracle.swd.jre/bin/i386/native_threads/jre

I installed Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Redhat Linux 8.0 and none the above seems relevant there? At least the non-existence of these symbolic links doesn't appear to be the problem (the first is linked correctly, and the second two are in /bin so don't require to be linked).

I think you were reporting the above against a later error. But I have 2 Gb of RAM on a Pentium P4 and haven't got this to work yet.

On the initial Oracle install I got a generic error when it should have run dbca to create the database. I suspect it is an environment issue (something I haven't set up correctly). If anyone has seen this or knows the cause I would surely appreciate hearing from you! :)

Thanks!,
