Before you start installing Oracle, you need to have the following package:
jdk-1.1.8_v3 - Blackdown Linux port of Sun's Java Development Kit
You can find it at www.blackdown.org
According to jdk documentation, you should install it under /usr/local by issuing e.g.
# tar -xvjf jdk-1.1.8_v3.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
Now you should create symbolic link to the jdk because oracle expects to find it under /usr/local/java:
# ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
Note that it is not necessary to add path to the java executables in PATH environment variable, so you can safely keep whatever jdk or jre version you already have.
Run Installer again.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Vigyan

Hi,
You may as well try the following.
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 or whatever is apt for you.
This had worked for me when I had faced a similar problem installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 8. Hope this helps you too.
Would be highly helpful if somebody could explain its significance.
Thanks,
Srimayee,
