334994Nov 11 2003 — edited Nov 12 2003 I am trying to install 8i 8.1.7 on redhat linux 9. when I start the installer I get this error and nothing happens after it. I do have java installed on the pc. Whats the cause. I did the preinstall steps and am using the oracle account to start the installation. I got the install file from the oracle downloads site.
