So, you need to go to the temporary directory where Oracle unpacks its files, install a working JDK there, and continue the process. 8.0.5 was a lot better; the dependency on glibc 2.0.7 that version had is easier to satisfy than the horrible Java mess. > Also I am particularly interested in an overview of how the different Oracle > processes interact.
