I'm having problems installing Oracle 8.1.7, using the same linux81701 tar ball from Oracle's site I used to get it working on Red Hat 7.3.
I unpack it, create the oracle user and dba/oinstall groups, but when I run the run the runInstaller script, nothing happens and top shows a jre process at 90%. Any ideas? I know Oracle 9 will probably work much better, but I need to run Oracle 8.1.7. I don't even need the whole database to work, just the OCI JDBC drivers and sqlplus. Raul
