[techtalk] Linux jre - oracle 8i problem

[Mary E. Mulderrig]

Hi:

I am hoping someone can help me before I lose my mind trying to beat this
machine into submission ;-)
I am running Mandrake 7.0 on a bi-processor pentium box. I just installed Java
(jdk 1.3.0) in /usr/local/java.
When I am in root I can use it fine. I made the necessary changes to my PATH
and CLASSPATH in my bash_profile file.

Here's the problem....I am trying to install Oracle 8i. I created an oracle
account and the  required groups. I changed the oracle user PATH and CLASSPATH
so it now finds java. The problem is that when I log in to an Xwindow session
as the oracle user and cd to  /mnt/cdrom it will not let me run the installer
The error message I get is below Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
