JRE not found, while installing Oracle 9i on Fedora Core 5

DrBugsApr 29 2008 — edited May 4 2008
I am installing Oracle 9i on Fedora Core 5 from the following site.

http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html

The site asks me to Download the Java Runtime Enviroment (j2re-1_3_1_15-linux-i586.bin) from the Sun website.

extract the file and put it in /opt directory. And edit Disk1/install/linux/oraparam.ini and modify JRE_LOCATION variable to /opt/jre1.3.xx

###################################

I have downloaded JRE version jre1.3.1_19 as this is the version available from the sun site, and put it in the /opt directory.

[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ cd /opt
[oracle@localhost opt]$ ls -l
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 19 2006 jre1.3.1_19

My oraparam.ini settings are:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ cat Disk1/install/linux/oraparam.ini
[Oracle]
JRE_LOCATION=/opt/jre1.3.1_19

However, after doing these changes when I use /home/oracle/Disk1/runInstaller, i get the following error:
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ pwd
/home/oracle/Disk1
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ ./runInstaller
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ The Java RunTime Environment was not found at /tmp/OraInstall2008-04-29_07-09-15AM/jre/bin/java. Hence, the Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run.
Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.3.1 or higher and try again.
