Re:Oracle 9i runInstaller SIGSEGV's - (Similar problem)

Question

I am running Redhat 6.2 with upgraded kernel 2.2.19 and upgraded
GLibc 2.1.3-22 libraries.
Using JDK 1.3.
runInstaller always seg faults with SIGSEGV 11 after answering
questions for DAD port.
The above solution did not work nor was it an option. However,
it was tried and javakey never seg faulted. The install
continues to fail.
Help with this matter would be greatly appreciated!!!

Answer 1

Update on runInstaller segfaulting.
Problem
jre version 1.1.8v3 seg faults.
I will assume that:
A. You've downloaded jre-1.1.8 from blackdown (or mirror)
B. Unpacked it under /usr/local and linked /usr/local/java to
the jre118 directory under /usr/local
C. Added /usr/local/java/bin to your PATH
Problem verification
To verify that we are talking about the same problem run
the '/usr/local/java/bin/javakey' tool (bundled with jre)
without any params. It should dump the registers and segfault.
If it does, we are talking about the same problem.
runInstaller should be segfaulting with pretty much identical
jvm dump.
Solution
The problem of runInstaller segfaulting on systems with newer
libc versions is that jre 1.1.8 v3 expects locale data files to
be present in /usr/share/locale (or /usr/local/share/locale).
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions
/slackware-8.0/d1/glocale.tgz
may be used to grab a tar-ball that contains the appropriate
locale information. The tar ball can be unzipped with the
following shell command:
# gunzip -c glocale.tgz | (cd /; tar -xvf - )
Verify solution
run '/usr/local/java/bin/javakey' ... It should no longer
segfault (you should get the command-line help for javakey)
Try running runInstaller from your favourite Oracle media
location
