Error in writing to directory /tmp/OraInstall2007

Hello All,

 

I successfully start a VNC session on our Unix box.  Then I run the
installer, and it returns the message below.  There is about 800MB free
space in /tmp and I have confirmed the /tmp directory is writable by
user oracle.  This used to work.  My colleague upgraded from 10.2.0.2 to
10.2.0.3 recently, and I wonder if this is part of the reason we now
encounter this problem.  Our OS is AIX 5.3.  Running the installer does
create directory OraInstall2007-10-10_10-38-29AM.  This directory
contains an installActions log file and also a sub-directory named jre.
Jre contains a directory lib, which contains a bunch of files (mostly
font.properties).

 

Can anybody provide advice on what the problem may be?  This is what I
get when I run the installer from /tmp:

 

$ /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/oui/bin/runInstaller -debug

Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

 

No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini, no system pre-requisite

Error in writing to directory /tmp/OraInstall2007-10-10_10-38-29AM.
Please ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 69 MB of
disk space. Installation cannot continue.

: A file descriptor does not refer to an open file.

 

 

Thanks for any suggestions.
