when i try to install oracle on to rh9 i emmediately get:
[root@linux root]# cd /mnt/cdrom/
[root@linux cdrom]# ls
doc index.htm install response runInstaller stage
[root@linux cdrom]# ./runInstaller &
[root@linux cdrom]# ./runInstaller: line 58: ./runInstaller: cannotexecutebinaryfile
This complaint also occurs when the extraced iso is palaced on hd.
this issue seems to occur too quickly in the install process to be an incompatability issue with the kernel or simple dependency. I have downoaded a fresh copy with the same results.
Any help would be great.
thanx
I encountered the same problem with RH 9.0 and Oracle 9i. I ran 'file runInstaller' and received message 'runInstaller: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, IA-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped'.
I think what all of this is telling us is at the beginning of this message. The distrubuted version off of Oracle web site is for 64 bit and will not run on anything else. If anybody has a work around, I would appreciate it.

I used the instructions that were provided in navamnk's link and had a succesfull install. The key seemed to be 'faking' the install process in to thinking it was using an older kernel. Oracle 9i does not support the current version, but the install allowd me to use all features of Oracle correctly.
