I've seen this happen when the media that was downloaded got corrupted somehow
- like the wrong type of tar was used to tar it up, and pathnames got
truncated, or cpio got things wrong.
Thanks,
Matt

Subject: 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
