Not able to load oracle enterprise 8i

[Umesh Potbhare]

Hello,

I am trying to load oracle on HP-UX 11.0 machine. I have JRE installed at /opt/java1.2/jre. Still when I try to run ./runinsta. from /cdrom/install/hpunix it gives following messages and donot proceed.

The Java Run Time environment not found at /tmp/Ora/Install0/jre/bin/jre. Hence the oracle universal installer will cannot be run.

I tried setting env variable JAVA_HOME to /opt/java1.2. It could not help either.

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
-Umesh

This is just a guess but....
Try adding this to your environment.
PATH=${PATH}:/opt/java1.2/bin:/opt/java1.2
export PATH
CLASSPATH=/opt/java1.2:.
export CLASSPATH

Actually the problem got sorted out by changing the way CDROM was mounted.

Previously, it was mounted using /etc/mount
So it use to trunket the path if the path is more than 8 characters.

Now it is mounted using pfs_mount and it worked like a charm.

Thanks anyway..
