Oracle 8.1.6 installation on HP-UX 11.0

[svarghes]

While running ./runInstaller the following message comes up :
$ ./runInstaller

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8.0.1/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/hpunix/bin/jre. Please wait...
../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8.0.1/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/hpunix/bin/jre[43]: /local/oracle/install/../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8.0.1/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/hpunix/bin/../bin/PA_RISC/native_threads/jre: not found

Does the OUI use the JRE installed on the system OR it looks like it is using the JRE which comes with the Oralce 8.1.6 installation

HP System Configuration :

HP OS : HP-UX B.11.00 E 9000

Patches : installed all patches required

JAVA installed: # swlist | grep -i java

Looks like the Oracle installer does not use the JRE installed on the system but uses the JRE which comes with the Oracle 8.1.6 installation :

Since I haven't done an installation on HP, I don't know what was the exact cause of it. One of the things to check is the environment setup. Also check to see that you have enough temp space.


Good luck.
