i am trying to install oracle e-business suite r12 on Linux red hat i did install all of the preinstall packages but when i try to lunch rapid installation file it give me this error:

note that: i logged in as root & i have the red hat on vm ware iam not running it live, my copy of redhat is the one with oracle logo appear on the start up i think it's the one from oracle web site, the e-business source i am trying to setup on a usb drive with file system fat32, also note that i know almost nothing about linux

can any one help me with this error ?
thank you all for your interest

The error is saying "bad intepreter" in /media/disk/Apps_linux/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin/runWizard.sh.

That likely means the first line of that file has something like #!/bin/sh. (The #! makes it the interpreter for the rest of the script.)

You can fake it out by linking it to bash:
ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
Many distros have that in place by default.

it give me a new error after i coped the source from usb drive into the virtual machine hard drive

[root@apps rapidwiz]# sh rapidwiz


Rapid Install Wizard is validating your file system......
4 dvd labels found
Rapid Install Wizard will now launch the Java Interface.....

rapidwiz: line 341: /Apps_linux/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin/runWizard.sh: Permission denied
[root@apps rapidwiz]#

now i just don't have the Permission to run runWizard.sh & there's no bad interpreter but i did login as root
do i have to create peculiar user name & group to start setup wizard

Hi,

Copy the zipped file to the server again and then unzip.
