hi,

did you run the install_prep script prior to the installation? (this script which is available from metalink, can help you in configuring your environment before the installation)

can you try to specify the full path for the runInstaller program instead?
e.g. /SD_CDROM/db/Disk1/runInstaller*

hope this helps!

I ve also run the runInstaller using the full path , same problem.

hi again,

in our installation environment, we only had the following environment variables set:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH TMP TMPDIR TNS_ADMIN

can you check the value in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH prior to the installation? is it ok?

hi again,

quite difficult to troubleshoot.

As per the Install Quick Start for 9.2.0, can verify that required environment variables are set accordingly:
ORACLE_TERM - eg, vt100, hpterm
DISPLAY - set this to :0.0
must be set before running Installer
ORACLE_BASE - set this to the top dir of Oracle software structure
eg, /u01/OFA_base/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME - set to the dir where Oracle software installed
eg, /u01/OFA_base/app/oracle/product/V9.2.0
ORACLE_SID - set to the SID of the database
SHLIB_PATH - required for oracle products using shared libraries
must include $ORACLE_HOME/lib32, /usr/lib and dir
containing Motif libs
eg, /usr/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:
/usr/lib:/usr/lib/Motif1.2
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- as SHLIB_PATH, but for 64 bit executables must include $ORACLE_HOME/lib
PATH - must include $ORACLE_HOME/bin
TMP or TEMP - used by installer to override the default location of /tmp
TMPDIR - used by 'ar' to override default location of /var/tmp
- used by 'ld' to override default location of /var/tmp

I am using ksh shell for oracle user. and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE,... are set in .profile file.

I found some thing strange when executing the InstallPrep script : it fount the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE,... are correctly set as environnement variable but also ask me to add it to .profile .

hi again,

very hard to troubleshoot.

i would suggest that you contact Oracle support or if you have a support contract with Oracle, log an itar on metalink.

good luck

kind regards

Hi Salmani..,

R u sure urn profile si executing properly?

login to the system as installation user
Try to see any of ur values u set in to ur profile,like

$echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
it should return the value what u set..,

If its not returning this valus.., Ur .profile is not executing..,

Try to check the file permission...etc..

Cheers,
