Question 1:

I am trying to install Oracle8i on RedHat 6.1
However when I run ./runInstaller
I get the message
Error in CreateOUIProcess () : -1 : Bad Address

Answer 1:

I had the same problem about three days ago... In the Oracle8i CD, the
/mnt/cdrom/runInstaller is actually a shell script that executes
/mnt/cdrom/install/linux/runInstaller, which is an ELF executable.

In that same directory, there is a /mnt/cdrom/install/linux/RUNINS.SH
script. Make sure all your environment variables are set, then
run this script. As long as /usr/local/jre/bin/jre (JRE1.1.6 V5) exists, and
you launch it with DISPLAY=:0.0, everything *should* be okay.

Let me know if this solved your problem.

Question 2:

Thanks for the reply
I have already tried what you said and have yet another
problem:

After I execute the script install/linux/runIns.sh
I get the following error
Cannot open /proc/02956 for GCCould not create Java VM

If you can think of anything else, it would be great
