The Java that comes with Oracle is broke. Sorry.
Here's how you can make it work, at least it did for me using
SuSE 7.1 and Oracle 8.1.7.
Get the 1.1.8 Java from www.blackdown.org
Here's where my ORACLE_HOME/JRE points:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 34 Apr 18 17:52
/u02/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/JRE -> /u02/app/oracle/product/jre
/1.1.8/
So in my case, I would go to /u02/app/oracle/product/jre and perform the
following:
rename your oracle 1.1.8 directory to 1.1.8.oracle
install blackdown to 1.1.8.blackdown
create a virtual link from blackdown to 1.1.8
ln -s 1.1.8.blackdown 1.1.8
now your $ORACLE_HOME/JRE points to /u02/app/oracle/product/jre
/1.1.8.blackdown/
Here's what my directory looks like:
9:44-sherlock:ts01:jkstill-6 > l
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 5 oracle dba 4096 May 26 11:32 ./
drwxrwxr-x 6 oracle dba 4096 Apr 18 23:29 ../
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 15 May 26 11:32 1.1.8 ->
1.1.8.blackdown/
drwxr-xr-x 4 oracle dba 4096 Apr 18 17:52 1.1.8.blackdown/
drwxr-xr-x 4 oracle dba 4096 Apr 18 17:51 1.1.8.oracle/
drwxr-xr-x 6 oracle dba 4096 Apr 18 17:51 3.0.02/
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 7142 May 14 00:27 javacore16556.txt
You will also need the patch for SuSE 7.1. It's available at
http://technet.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/software_index.htm
You need to click on the 8.1.7 for Linux link, go through the license
page. You
will find the patch on the download page.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Hi,
I have the following environment:
Suse 7.1, Oracle 8.1.6, 256 Mb Ram, KDE, Java runtime (I hope I installed
it correctly).
When I run the Installer from Kde, it makes nothing, but if I run from
terminal window
I get a very long list ended by an OK.
I'm going to paste below the whole message, I hope somebody will help :
oracle@linux:~ > cd /cdrecorder
oracle@linux:/cdrecorder > ./runInstaller
oracle@linux:/cdrecorder > Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre.
Please wait...
SIGSEGV received at bfffd994 in
