The first problem was the runInstaller would not start the Oracle Universal Installer. The problem ended up being the libXp. Installing libXp-1.0.0.8.i386.rpm solved the problem. The package can be downloaded from http://rpm.pbone.net/.
The second problem occurred during installation where the Network pre-installation check failed due to the /etc/hosts not containing the correct information. Changing the /etc/hosts to match the following format solved the problem.
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.1.115 myhost.mydomain.com myhost
Installing Oracle 9i on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (which is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5) is not supported by Oracle. However, thanks to nirajkvinit's blog, I was able to install Oracle 9i on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 with success.
