$ ./runInstaller
$ Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8.0.2/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/hpunix/bin/jre. Please wait...
Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread

Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread
Can't create Java VM

This error message indicates that you have set the wrong value for the vm_args.classpath variable.
You might get a different system error indicating that it cannot find either libjava.so (on Unix) or javai.dll (on Win32). If this is the case, add libjava.so into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Solaris, or add javai.dll into your executable path on Win32.

The program may report an error that it cannot find the class Prog. If so, make sure the directory containing Prog.class is in the vm_args.classpath variable as well.

Regards,
Ceesjan

Hi,

Are you sure that you mount the installation properly with right pfs mount steps.
if not the files appears will not correct.

hi,

You should not set CLASSPATH environment variable and make sure that your JDK is in your PATH.

Please check installation guide for information.

Hope this helps!
Best Regards

Hi there.
Just one thing to avoid the pfs_mount stuff.
There are three patches, which make your life easier and leave pfs_mount behind.
For HP-UX 11.00
PHCO_26449
PHKL_26448
PHKL_26450

Yes, after install of these patches a rebbot is necessary.
But if you have rebooted the machine, you can mount Oracle cd's like this :

mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cntndn /SD_CDROM

No more pfs daemons and all this.
