在Ubuntu 14.04上安装Oracle 11g时出错

Question

I am trying to install Oracle 11g on Ubuntu 14.04 using the command ./runInstaller -silent but I am getting this error:

Checking temp space: 1 MB available, 120 MB required.    Failed

I tried doing the below but the error persisted:

• change to root

su – root

• make new folder for the temporary files

mkdir /u01/tmp

• change the owner which you will use to install the product, in my case user is oracle and the group oinstall.

chown oracle:oinstall /u01/tmp

• change the read-write settings

chmod 1777 /u01/tmp

• export the new path so that the installer can use it

export TEMP=/u01/tmp
export TMPDIR=/u01/tmp

Answer 1

The documentation says to export environment variables TMP and TMPDIR , not TEMP :

If you determined that the /tmp directory has less than 1 GB of free disk space, then identify a file system with at least 1 GB of free space and set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables to specify a temporary directory on this file system:

To determine the free disk space on each mounted file system use the following command:

 # df -h /tmp 

If necessary, enter commands similar to the following to create a temporary directory on the file system that you identified, and set the appropriate permissions on the directory:

 $ sudo mkdir /mount_point/tmp $ sudo chmod a+wr /mount_point/tmp # exit 

Enter commands similar to the following to set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables:

• Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:

   $ TMP=/mount_point/tmp $ TMPDIR=/mount_point/tmp $ export TMP TMPDIR 

• C shell:

   % setenv TMP /mount_point/tmp % setenv TMPDIR /mount_point/tmp 

The blog you quoted from seems to be wrong, though that is for "Oracle Web Tier" not the database software anyway. It also doesn't make it clear that you need to do the export commands as your Oracle user, not as root, in the shell you'll run the installer from.
