good answer

Hello,

1.First you have to a create new user,you can't run runinstaller by root user
2. Run xhost+ command from root
3.Login with new user(normally ORACLE with oradba primary group and orainstall and oraoper sub groups).
4. After loging by oracle user apply two commands
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
and
/usr/i386/bin/i386
run both the commands.

after that run your ./runinstaller

Try this and send me the result.

Take care
bye

But little problem!
Oracle 8.1.6 incompatible with Linux RH 7.3.
Oldest version for Oracle 8.1.6 (without downgrade) RH 6.2!

where do i find 6.2?

I have searched over the net and unable to find it

Maybe......... ftp.redhat.com
