James, if you are installing 8.1.5 I think that install manual explicity says that you have to install exactly JRE 1.1.7 (or 1.1.6 I couldn't remember) and also a symlink from ORACLE_HOME/bin/jre ---> /usr/local/jre/bin/jre
then be sure to install patch for 8.1.5 if you are installing 8.1.6, oracle installs JRE 1.1.7 on /home/oracle/jre and isn't necessary to have it installed under /usr/local/ hope it helps !! > Hi, > I am trying to install Oracle 8i on a Debian box and even though I have > followed the > directions to the tee, I keep recieving the same error when I try to run the > "./runInstaller" > command.
