Cannot install oracle9i (Linux AS3 update3, HP DL380 G4)

[veena_2]

Dear Guru,

I cannot intstall oracle9i (9.2.0.4, Linux x86) due to java error

-sh-2.05b$ /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
-sh-2.05b$ Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall2005-05-17_09-50-49AM/jre/bin/java. Please wait...

Good bye.

I think it is java problem due to I cannot call java from server.

[root@DB1A tmp]# su - oracle
-sh-2.05b$ java -version

But after tested with others hardware platform (IBM S50, Dell1850). They could be installed oracle9i (Linux AS3 update3) smootly.

Have you even seen the problem same like me, do you have any suggestion? thanks.

I guess the first thing I'd do is find out where the java binary you've got comes from:

rpm -qf `which java`

And if it's not a sun-JRE, then get the Oracle reccomended JRE, install that, and try again.

Having worked with oracle a lot on hp-ux, its critical to have a supported version of java installed prior to proceeding with the installation.

The support matrix is on http://metalink.oracle.com and/or http://technet.oracle.com

could be a java problem on that particular machine. check any new updates available for java which is supported by oracle and install it.

Hi

I agree with Stuart you need to check if the rpm's are already there

rpm -qa |grep -i java

If not you need to install them and there are quite a number of dependencies for this package.
