Hi Laurent,
Although I'm not running Oracle 9i R2, and I don't use Mac OS X, I just wanted to mention a couple of things that you may be unaware of (since I saw no mention of them in your post).
1. Since you are trying to install java by running the "initjvm.sql" script, I assume that you didn't install java when you installed the database. You can verify this by the following query:
select
   VALUE
from
   V$OPTION
where
   PARAMETER = 'Java'If that returns "TRUE", then java should already be installed in your database. You can check this by running the following query (as the "SYS" user):
select
   OBJECT_NAME
from
   USER_OBJECTS
where
   OBJECT_TYPE like 'JAVA%'and there should be several thousand rows returned.
2. You must run the "initjvm.sql" script as user "SYS".
Hope this helps you.
Good Luck,
Avi.
