Martin,
Thanks for the hint. A discussion at Oracle Technet lead me to this page:
http://homepages.tig.com.au/~jmsalvo/linux/oracle8i.html
Apparently the Oracle installer Java program looks for the rt.jar file that
the JRE uses, and doesn't work with the classes.zip file the JDK uses.
Using JRE instead of JDK, I've managed to get the Installer running. Of
course I haven't gotten the install to _work_, but that's not a Java
problem.
To the Java-Linux listers,
Thanks for putting up with me. Since the Java problem is resolved, I won't
bother you any more. For what it may be worth, the documentation I found
said that you could create a symbolic link called "rt.jar" pointing to
"classes.zip" in that same directory to fix the error message I was getting.
It might help you with some other, misbehaving Java program.

Asunto: Re: Unable to initialize threads
Ok, I've finally figured out that I have to set
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jdk118_v1/lib/classes.zip, even thought the
documentation seem pretty clear about _un_setting the CLASSPATH. So now I
can compile and run my "hello world" program. Off I go to try the Oracle
Installer again. This time I get:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please
wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
Any ideas on this one? Since can run my "hello world" program, I guess this
one probably has to do with the Oracle Installer, not Java, huh?
