[expert] Oracle 8i R2 install

2000-05-25 Thread m . rokos

Hi all,
I have wierd problem. I try to install Oracle8iR2 (8.1.6) on my
computer. When I use the Oracle's JRE it got just crash. So I use
BlackDown JRE (all 1.1.8).
Installer runs, but when I try to click on NEXT button, nothing
happens. When I click on other button it works Wierd!
Why it is so wierd? I installed 8.1.5 on RedHat 6.0 with the same
blackdown's java and everything was fine. So I tried install 8.1.5 on my
comp. All buttons except down row (NEXT, INSTALLED
PRODUCTS,...) works. Then NEXT button still don't.
Do you know where is prob?
I have: Mandrake Linux
kernel 2.2.15 (8mdk)
glibc 2.1.3 (5mdk)
gcc 2.95.2 (7mdk)
egcs 1.1.2 (28mdk)
reiserfs
swap 300MB
mem 128MB
Thank a lot!
Michal

PS: When I try silent install i got message: "No forced value specified
for the variable ORACLE_HOME, associated with property ToLocation, in
dialog File Locations."
Do you have any advice?

I installed Oracle 8i on 6.0 and upgraded to 6.5 without any problems. I had
similar problems like yours when upgrading to 7.0 and using the "secure"
kernel. Using the normal 2.2.15 kernel worked just fine. Have not had a chance
to get into work early (so I can borrow the NT box on the T1 that has a burner
so I can dl 8.1.6 /8iR2).
