11.Make sure the NumLock key on your keyboard is OFF. If it is not, pressing any of the buttons
in the Oracle Universal Installer with the mouse will have no effect. This is a bug in Java or the
Oracle Universal Installer.
12.Do not change into the Oracle source directory (e.g. /cdrom), remain in user oracle’s home
directory. Start the installer (assuming you have a CD, otherwise adapt the path to wherever
your Oracle installation source is located if it is not a CD):
/cdrom/runInstaller
If it does not start:
There is an installation problem on non−i686 architectures, when running the Oracle installer on
any system where the arch command returns anything else but "i686". This is not a problem
with the processor itself, just with the name. For background info see the SuSE support
webpages for Oracle 9i on SuSE Linux.
To workaround this problem do this: Start the installer and wait for the error, which will be
something like "jre not found".
After getting the error the installer aborted, and you execute the commands below (no need to
switch to root) and afterwards just restart the runInstaller, which this time will work:
cd /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/
ln −s i686 i586
cd ../lib/
ln −s i686 i586
