Oracle 8.1.6 installation problem on HP-UX 11.0

[Suresh Varghese]

Have installed all the recommended patches but when I run the Oracle Universal Installer I get the following error message :

./runInstaller

> Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8.0.1/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/hpunix/bin/jre. Please wait...

For your information points assignment has certain meaning. Please note.

N/A: The answer was simply a point of clarification to my original question
1- 3: The answer didn't really help answer my question but thanks for your assistance!
4- 7: The answer helped with a portion of my question, but I still need some additional help.
8-10: The answer has solved my problem completely! Now I'm a happy camper!

Since you have assigned 10 points to the previous post, forum members would have thought this question is solved.

looks to me like you are trying to install it on a workstation as your uname -a output shows it as series 700 workstation. I doubt you can install oracle server app on a workstation.

Update the firmware of your CPU (PA_RISC). I know this oracle 8.1.6 application software is for 64bit machines.
