Hi,

I'm having problems running the shell script installer from a cdrom. 
When I try executing runInstaller the following error message appears:

[oracle@dai /cdrom]$ ./runInstaller 
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please
wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1 
: Bad address


I'm running 4.0 RELEASE and have tried reading the chapter in the
FreeBSD Handbook on installing Oracle.  One thing to note is that when I
try to run Blackdown's JDK 1.1.6 v5, the following message appears:

[oracle@dai /usr/local/jre/bin]$ ./jre
arch: not found
dirname: too many arguments
Try `dirname --help' for more information.
Warning: can't find /../bin/checkVersions, hope that's ok


Has anyone encountered these problems before?  TIA.

-David
