.oui: cannot execute binary file .oui: cannot execute binary file .oui
 

please solve my problem.... I'm trying to run runInstaller file but it was not working, following error occur every time...

[root@localhost database]# ./runInstaller
./runInstaller: line 254: /home/tmp2/database/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file
[root@localhost database]#

Please let me know step by step procedure to solve this problem...

Likely, /home/tmp2/database/install/.oui (if it's a regular file) is lacking executable permission, so you just need to
and rerun the runInstaller script.
Executable permission may be not settable depending on what kind of partition /home is mounted onto and the mount options specified.

Kazi;

Please provide complete information, including the version of Linux you are running, and what SW you are installing.

Also, please follow up in your previous thread--I think there could be issues there that relate to this new question.

I tried but it was not working.....

[root@localhost database]# chmod +x /home/tmp2/database/install/.oui
[root@localhost database]# ./runInstaller
./runInstaller: line 254: /home/tmp2/database/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file
[root@localhost database]#

Red Hat 5 distro is running, and I'm trying to install Oracle 11g on it.....

And in your previous thread, you were advised not to use RHEL 5....

Can you execute that file manually?---i.e. not as part of the script. Also, show us the output of:
ls -l /home/tmp2/database/install/

Following output.....


[root@localhost ~]# ls -la /home/tmp2/database/install/

Oracle install requires GUI.

The error message can be misleading: what is missing might be the interpreter. If you execute:you will see a line like:or:If the 32 bit version is missing, it might be necessary to install ia32-libs. Otherwise check the header:whether it’s the right one for your architecture.

[oracle@localhost ~]$ readelf -l /home/tmp2/database/install/.oui

The requested interpreter is /lib64/ld64.so.1 in your above output, which looks like PowerPC 64. What’s in the:output?
