Hi,

I am trying to install Oracle 8i R3 on a Compaq DP600
running RedHat 7.2. Whenever I run the ./runInstaller
I get the error:

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre.
Please wait...

And then nothing happens, I'm returned to the prompt.
The jre then consumes 99% cpu indefinitely until I
manually kill -9 the process.

I've tried installing the JDK from blackdown and also
IBM and none worked. Also removed all the oracle temp
files in /tmp and still nothing. Even when I had
RedHat 7.1 and 7.0 on this machine it still didn't
work, all the operating systems being fresh installs.
I can successfully install Oracle on other
machines just not this one. This is the only Compaq
DP600 that I have. Could that be the problem?

If anyone has any insight on my problem I would
really appreciate your assistance.

Thanks,
Alan

Ok, I just found the answer to this problem in one of the submissions on orafaq.

Add the following lines to your .bash_profile.
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

This worked like a charm for me!

Yep, did the business for me on Red Hat 7.2, too.
