The Oracle8i 'universal installer' is very picky though.
It requires the jre to be installed in /usr/local - it's also very very
version specific. The docs say it requires Blackdown JRE 116_v5. After some
aborted attempts to use other environments we installed v116_v5 to finally
get the installer to run without a glitch.
Once you've got Oracle installed there aren't any conflicts with any other
JDK/JRE you install.
