oracle 9i on freebsd 9.2.1

hey folks

i'm trying to run the database configuration assistant but
i get the following error:

oracle-bsd> dbca
dirname: illegal option -- p
usage: dirname path
arch: not found
jre was not found in /../bin//green_threads/jre

when i type java -fullversion i get: (either as oracle or
as root)
java: not found

i've followed the article for installing oracle 9i on
freebsd 5.1. i skipped the sdk installation but it seems i
shouldnt have. i installed instead
linux-understand_java-1.4.206 package that comes with
freebsd. from the details above i guess i have a problem
with the java environment. the reason why i skipped is that
it required newer linux_dev version and few other more
packages so i just skipped it..
any workaround?

bear in mind that the net configuration assistant was
started after the root script executed, and the http server
also. i got error on DBCA.

i've tried: copying java 1.1.8 from suse (there is
succesful oracle9i installation there) to my 
/home/oracle/1.1.8 and i've changed the of JRE from
/usr/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/bin/JRE
but no success!

should i just remove linux-understand_java-1.4.206 and
install linux-sun-jdk from the ports ?? 

please advice.

thanks

:)

Darko
