What are your maxdsiz and maxdsiz_64bit values?
What does "swapinfo -tam" show?

[Hein van den Heuvel]

Sounds like the linker is running out of space. My guess would be memory space, and I would check vm parameters and swapsize, but Oracle just checked those supposedly.
Is the installing program running unlimited (ulimit)?

Maybe it is just disk space. /tmp ?

Finally, the command prompt strongly suggests you are using bash as the shell.
It that was Oracle recommend/requires? I would suggest to retry with a 'normal' shell. (Yes, bash is a fine shell. I use it every day... on Linux).

fwiw,
Hein.

They've been doing upgrades here on Oracle...

The software is demanding more and more temp space to load. If you want to set up temporary space for your folks (that you can reclaim later), then set up some temp lvol for them and have them point to it by adjusting the Oracle install config file.
Some DBA's do it nicely - some don't.
Or if you like, just extend your O/S file systems and leave it.

My point being - - Check with DBA's for what they need to install.

We also had to extend maxdsiz parm. Which we put right back down once the install was finished !

Rgrds,
Rita

hi,

I would also usggest that you download and run the RDA script to verify that your environment is "READY" for the installation.

The RDA report that will be generated will also guide you into any other software requirements and required kernel parameter tweaks.

hope this helps too!
kind regards

Shalom,

I think Rita has got it.

Probably a /tmp space shortage.

Also, you are using the bash shell.

I don't think that shell is supported for installation of Oracle on HP-UX which requires(requests) korn or posix shell

Just because you can bash does not mean you should bash.

[TwoProc]

I'm voting for out of space on /tmp.
The shl_load function call was apparently made from inside java (hence the java backtrace), and almost certainly you had enough memory for that. If you didn't, the fix wouldn't be a kernel change but rather a change in the initialization parameter for the startup of of the java engine. Most of the time, the size of the java installer engine is nowhere near the size of anything that needs an OS kernel tweak. However, once you get past THIS java installation point, you very well may have an issue with kernel params for starting the db engine up - meaning that you need to review your kernel parameters regardless.

Hi,

I found an Oracle Metalink article that seems to describe this issue, doc id 313386.1. I have attached it for your reference.

Hope it helps!

Cheers...

The problem is resolved.

Thanks.
