ORACLE/LINUX

[Nobody's Hero]

Has anyone installed Oracle 9i on Linux RedHat 9?

I am trying to install and I keep getting an error related to creating a link for 'jre' and .java_wrapper. This is at the beginning of the install process. Any help appreciated. Should I have installed some type of java before the install?

I have done the install.

There is a requierd java piece that does not come with Red Hat 9 that must be installed prior to the oracle install.

You probably can't get it at redhat.com

Here is a possible source
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html

This does not look like where I got it.

There should be a note in the install manual telling you were to get the proper version of java.
