I have an Oracle 7 DB running on Solaris that I want to be able to use
Perl DBI from a FreeBSD box (Dell 2450) to access the Solaris box. I
have an Oracle 8i CD for linux that I'm trying to install on the BSD
box. Below is the error I get when I try and run the Oracle installer.
Any help with the error would be appreciated. Also, am I even going
about this the right way - trying to install the client bins on the BSD
box so I can access the Solaris box, or is there an easier/better way?
Can I even use Oracle8i for linux bins to access an Oracle7 Solaris box?
/cdrom/install/linux/runIns.sh
GUI comes up but when I hit 'next' it crashes with this error:
Exception java.lang.NullPointerException occurred..

If I run it with -responseFile GUI still comes up and I can hit 'next'
and it looks like it is loading the products.jar file but then errors
with:
"There was a problem in the staging area. Please make sure the 'Source'
and 'Destination' specified are valid"
I edited the ee_typical.rsp file and changed the values to where I want
to install - this dir /home/oracle is owned by oracle and 777.
Thanks,
