First, Oracle 8i doesn't work on RH5.1 unless you've upgraded to kernel 2.2
and glibc 2.1. If you're still on the old kernel and glibc install Oracle
8.0.5.
I installed 8i on a RH6.0 system with JDK 1.1.7. I made a symbolic link
like this:
cd /usr/local
ln -sf /opt/jdk117<something> jre
I can't remember the exact paths (and I can't check now) but that should be
close. The installer worked after that. Make sure you have plenty of RAM
and swap or the installation will fail.
The database creation assistant (dbassist or something like that) does not
work at all. It claims it can't find the threads library or something. I
just created a db manually.
HTH,
