I got farther than you but still failed. Here's what I did. 1) Copy the install CD to the harddrive. tar cvf - -C /cdrom . | tar xpf - -C /usr/cdrom 2) remove JRE from the CD copy and link to installed JDK1.1.8 cd /usr/cdrom/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/\ Datafiles/Expanded/ rm -rf linux ln -s /usr/local/jre1.1.8/ linux 3) At this point I had to add a few other links for differences in the binary names. You'll have to look through the linux rooted directory under /usr/cdrom and compare to files rooted under /usr/local/jre1.1.8/ 4) Multiple files must brandelf'd to run properly. 5) At this point I was able to start the installer, but it failed to find some files after a few pages into the install. I'm not very knowledgeable about Java so I couldn't take this any further. I suspect the problems would become obvious if the java were running under a debugger. Hope this helps. If anyone figures how to go further please send info as I'm interested in making this work eventually. --Eric Brown On Fri, Mar 02, 2001 at 06:40:26AM -0800, Ben Hacker Jr wrote: > > I have been attempting to get Oracle816 for Linux > installed on my FreeBSD v42stable box. > > I am failing! > > I cannot get the Oracle installer to run. > > I installed the Freebsd JDK1.1.8 > > Instructions on "www.scc.nl/~marcel" website are > not quite enough help.
