oracle client installation error

[arun m govind]

hi,

when i am installing oracle10g client in my hp-ux 11.11 server it giving the following error
"""""Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2006-08-06_12-45-24AM. Please wait ...
Error in writing to directory /tmp/OraInstall2006-08-06_12-45-24AM. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 69 MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue.
: No such file or directory"""""

i tried with different permissions and umasks.still its comming.what is the solution for this????????

Shalom,

/tmp needs more disk space or needs to be redirected to a larger filesystem with a value in the variable TMP or TEMP depending on which Oracle release is involved.

It has nothing to do with permissions in most cases.

Hi arun,

The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) requires up to 200mb of space in the /tmp directory. If you do not have enough space in /tmp, set the environment variable TMP, TEMP or TMDIR to point to a directory with sufficient space.

e.g. sh:
TMP=/opt/tmp
export TMP

ksh:
export TMP=/opt/tmp

csh:
setenv TMP /opt/tmp

hope this helps!

kind regards
