I can't get oracle to install on a debian potato system. The problem is that the installer will not run. What I get is
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait... (that should be one long line...) Then the screen immediately fills up with whence: not found whence: not found ... I think I am missing something on the system but I can't tell what. I tried changing /bin/sh to point to ksh. The whence messages went away but the thing hangs and takes all the cpu. Anyone have any ideas? Any help, no matter how trivial, is greatly appreciated. I have looked at the web site http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/index.html. It seems to be very good but doesn't address this problem at all. In fact, most everybody seems to be able to run the installer but me!... tia jim
