Good evening, folks :-) I`ve chosen the righteous path to try an installation of Oracle 8i on FBSDs Linux mode. I know. You don`t have to say anything. Just stop reading. You didn`t? Ok, here`s my question,then : Did anyone complete an installation of Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition on FBSD? I mean -- successfully? The problem seems to be the java installation tool ("Universal Installer"). I`ve tried a number of different jdk/jre versions, both Linux and native FBSD (the first seems to do better). It does run, you can choose file locations, SID, group ids and so on. But when the actual installation should take place, java dumps core with dust, explosions and a bulk load of error messages. It seems to have difficulties with file access, methods like "getUnixVolumeNames" fail. I`ve tried the following combinations: Ora 8i 8.5.0 + FBSD jdk118 complete failure Ora 8i 8.5.0 + Linux jdk117 works better Ora 8i 8.5.0 + Linux jdk116v5 (jdk version recommended by Oracle) Ora 8i 8.5.0.2 + Linux jdk116v5 (which is rumored to work with Linux itself) any ideas? best wishes and thanks in advance (for any input including "you stupid fool" ;-) Sven Brandenburg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
