Oracle Lite 10g freeze in installation when copying controlPanel.html

Question

Hi,
I'm having problems when installing Oracle Database Lite 10g . When I run runInstaller and select all default options, the installation process freeze when copying controlPanel.html (around 13%). I already have download the install file 3 times, and the same error is happening.
I'm using the install instructions from http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10813_01/toc.htm.
Thanks for any help,
Sergio Stateri Jr.

It has been documented as a bug by sun Ref: Bug id. 4654443. REGRESSION: Java 1.4 does not work with Redhat's new glibc-2.2.5
There is a workaround which consists of preloading a shared library using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable before launching the Language Pack
1. Get the file ftp://people.redhat.com/drepper/libcwait.c.
2. check if gcc is installed with "rpm -qa | grep gcc".
3. Install gcc if not present.
4. Compile the downloaded file with "gcc -shared -o libcwait.so -O -g libcwait.c".
5. Launch "export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libcwait.so".
6. Launch the LP installer.
Contents of the libcwait.so file:
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
pid_t
__libc_wait (int *status)
int res;
asm volatile ("pushl %%ebx\n\t"
"movl %2, %%ebx\n\t"
"movl %1, %%eax\n\t"
"int $0x80\n\t"
"popl %%ebx"
: "=a" (res)
: "i" (__NR_wait4), "0" (WAIT_ANY), "c" (status), "d" (0),
"S" (0));
return res;
There is a patch related issue, look for the readme file at metalink related with patch p3006854_9204_LINUX.zip
