Hi all, I exhausted all ideas... I have an oracle user that I am using to install client on Linux server. I am using the following command: ./runInstaller -silent -force -debug -responseFile /home/oracle/client/response/ clientadmin.rsp the output is as following: SEVERE:OUI-10037:Unable to set up inventory. You may not have the proper permissions. Begin forwarded message: Oracle user has permissions to read, write and execute everything from the folder.;. oracle@median:~$ ls -lt -h total 457M *drwxrwxrwx 2 oracle dba 29 2009-08-11 10:10 oraInventory* -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 457M 2009-08-10 13:56 10201_client_linux32.zip drwxr-xr-x 6 oracle dba 95 2005-07-02 13:13 client I really don't get what is going on and what it needs in order to proceed. Please, share any ideas should you have them at all. Thanks, M
