[CLUE-Tech] 9iR2 dbca causing SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation on RH9

[NTallo at aol.com]

I was hoping someone could please help with an error I am getting on my home 
computer.  

Apparently I was over enthusiastic thinking I would be able to install Oracle 
9i R2 on RH Linux 9 on a very old computer just so I could practice for the 
OCP exams, but other people have sucessfully completed the task (yes even 
though Oracle has not certified RH9) - so I should be able to figure out the work 
arounds.  Now that I am learning more and more about Linux...and thus becoming 
an enthusiast....I encountered an error I beleive to be outside of Oracle.

Has anyone encountered the SIGSEGV   11*  segmentation violation (dump below) 
during the Oracle 9iR2 Install on RH9 when trying to initialize the dbca?  
And if so,  can you please point me to a resolution.

I beleive that his error is due to the version of Java not being compatible 
with my machine - I had some problems with glibc and had to downgrade it.  So I 
think that this error will require a downgrade to the JRE.  May I assume that 
the Java version is 1.1.8 (based on the JRE folder) and if so where can I get 
a downgrade version and how can I install it? - IF THIS IS EVEN THE CORRECT 
FIX???

My internet searches have not turned up anything related RH9/ Oracle 9i / 
dbca / glibc-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm / and the JRE 1.1.8

Thanks in advance for all of your help.
