Q: Install Oracle 8i on AIX 5l

While run "runinstaller" to install Oracle 8.1.7 64bit for AIX on AIX 5l platform, it shows the error like "directory/tmp/orainstall can not access or the size of the Directory less than 25 m, please ensure the size of this directory or file"

How can I Solf this problem ???

Waitting on line ......

My answer:

Clean your/tmp directory --

This error caused by you installed oracle on same machine before.

Drop all/temp/orainstall directory will be OK.

1. /tmp/orainstall error is a command error on installation of Aix environment. I remeber on the online documentatiaon Installation Guide, Oracle recommance that Min. 25 m shoshould be available in/tmp/orainstall directory.

2. I did install oracle817 on 5l, but what I installed is oracle817 32 bit version-Oracle doesn't certified oracle817 64 bit for 5l environment. I did not meet any problem during installation. I met error when I tried to run database. the error Oracle knew too. you have to shutdown 5l 64 bit option, ask 5l running as 32 bit OS environment.

I wish above info will help you work out your issues.
