Forms 9i on Linux 9: Problem Opening

Question

I installed Oracle DS9i on Linux 9 and then the DB succesfully (I believe). Also set up the environment by changing .bashrc and .bash_profile files. When I tried to run Forms, using $ORACLE_HOME/bin/f90desm.sh I got the following error message.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/f90desm.sh
SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
si_signo [11]: SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
si_errno [0]: Success
si_code [1]: SEGV_MAPERR [addr: 0x1A98]

Hi,
actually Oracle does not officially support any other Web client than Windows (JInitiator and Java PlugIn). This doesn't mean that a plugin on Linux isn't supposed to run. You problem seems not to be in the Forms area but even before. If teh HTTP listener says that the URL cannot be found, then the problem is on teh HTTP level.
Can you access
http://<server>:<port>/
and does this bring up the OC4J home page?
If using Forms10g, then the same address is
http://<server>:<port>/j2ee
If teh above was successful, try
http://<server>:<port>/forms90/l90servlet
This should give you a Forms page simply saying that the Forms Listener Servlet is available
If this works, try
http://<server>:<port>/forms90/f90servlet
which should bring up a test.fmx forms simply saying hello.
