by When trying to install Oracle8i on Solaris 2.7 Sparc got this:
$ ./runInstaller -responseFile /usr/local/home/oracle/8i_typical.rsp
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
./stage/Components/oracle/swd/jre/1.1.7/1/DataFiles/Expanded/solaris/bin
/jr
e. Please wait...
SIGFPE 8* arithmetic exception
si_signo [8]: SIGFPE 8* arithmetic exception
si_errno [0]: Error 0
si_code [1]: FPE_INTDIV [addr: 0xff036d78]
etc...
After contacting Oracle, this turns out to be related to the xWindows
manager I was using. Using another one fixed problem. Why this happened
even when using a response file is unexplained. Here is message from
Oracle support:
It's most likely the wondow manager causing the problem.
Are you installing on the system console or from a PC X-emulator?
Try changing window managers and
verify the number of colors your display is set to:
% xdpyinfo |more
Find the line: "default screen number: 0"
Once you know the screen number, "0" in this case find the entry in
the
output from the "xdpyinfo" for that screen:
screen #0:
dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (433x347 millimeters)
resolution: 75x75 dots per inch
depths (2): 1, 8
root window id: 0x2a
depth of root window: 8 planes
number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1
default colormap: 0x26
default number of colormap cells: 256
preallocated pixels: black 0, white 1
options: backing-store YES, save-unders YES
current input event mask: 0x58203d
KeyPressMask ButtonPressMask
ButtonReleaseMask
EnterWindowMask LeaveWindowMask
ButtonMotionMask
SubstructureNotifyMask SubstructureRedirectMask
PropertyChangeMask
number of visuals: 6
default visual id: 0x20
Note the "default visual id: 0x20" where "0x20" is visual number.
The
class for this visual should be "PseudoColor":
visual:
visual id: 0x20
class: PseudoColor
depth: 8 planes
size of colormap: 256 entries
If the class is not "PseudoColor" contact the X-server vendor for
instructions on how to modify the class to "PseudoColor".
