Roger. Its encouraging to know it will run, once you get past the installation. The installer runs under Java. I couldn't get it to run under the Linux JRE. I tried forcing it to load the FreeBSD port (by editing the JRE path in oraparam.ini), and then I got it to run but it wouldn't install anything. It said there was a problem with the "staging area"(?) (source files). It did manage to create a file $ORACLE_HOME/../oraInventory/install.platform that contained the following: [Platform] ID=0 That makes me think maybe it didn't detect a valid OS and aborted. What does your install.platform file contain? Any ideas on how to fool the installer into continuing? BTW, have you tried running any java inside the database to see if that will work?
