RunInstaller Problem on Solaris 9

Hey all,

I just installed 8.1.7r3 64-bit onto a system running Solaris 9 64-bit. The install went fine. I then went to install the 8.1.7.4 patch set, using the runInstaller from the 8.1.7r3 install.

First method,

I ssh to the system and forward my X session to my local Sun box (the ssh server does this automatically). The installer thenhangs indefintely at the banner screen.

Second method,

I telnet into the system and export my display back to my local Sun box and same problem as above.

I even rebooted the system and still had the same problems. The OS is at the latest patch level. When runInstaller runs, I notice it is using the jdk in /u01/app/oracle/jre/1.3.1. There is also a /u01/app/oracle/jre/1.1.8 but there is no java executable under that directory tree. There is also an installation of Oracle 9.2.0.1 64-bit using the same ORACLE_BASE, but not the same ORACLE_HOME:

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
# 9i

ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.4 ORACLE_SID=oradev1
# 8i

ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.7.4_64bit ORACLE_SID=oradev2

Here are the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting for the oracle user: PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7.4_64bit/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/openwin/bin LD_LIBRAARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7.4_64bit/lib:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/openwin/lib

Anyone have any ideas?

Thx,
