Problems installing 8.1.6 on Redhat 8.0

Question

Hi - has anyone managed to get 8.1.6 running on Redhat 8.0?
My experience has been:
To get OUI running I had to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
It then runs through the installation until it tries to build a starter database. Then it gives an ora-12547 TNS: lost contact.
OK - I let the installation finish and then use dbassist - however same error (ora-12547).
This seems to be telling me I running short of resources. It is an
Intel Pentium III 800Mhz with 512 MB RAM
sysctl gives
kernel.sem = 250 32767 250 256
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 268435456
kernel.shmmax = 268435456
The environment variables I have been using.
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.6
ORACLE_SID=testdata
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/etc:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/JRE/:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/product/jlib
Has anyone had any success with this configuration? - if so, how?
Thanks for any help

Answer 1

All I could tell you is why you might me getting can't find jre..
Put the bin diirectory in your path enviroment variable
assuming that you have the jre installed on your system..and you have the symbolic link from jre to jdk116_v5
example:
one you have the jdk installed..and the symbolic links from jre - jdkxx
bash shell$
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jre/lib
export CLASSPATH
if the above doesn't work
try this
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jre/lib/classes.zip
export CLASSPATH
summary: you program is not able to find the JRE enviroment...the above method tell where to look for..etc..
good luck..
