Initial Problem

I was installing Oracle 11g Release 2 Enterprise edition in Ubuntu 10.04 ( running on VMWARE ). Need help regarding that.

Problem #1:

I was following

Both are recommending to install

  • libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb
  • ia32-libs_2.7ubuntu6.1_amd64.deb

But I’m getting a 404 to when applying wget

Problem 2:

I skipped this part to see the end and finally I’m stuck on running below commands

$ cd database
$ ./runInstaller

Its throwing error like 

/opt/database/runInstaller: 153: /opt/database/install/.oui: Permission denied

Problem Phase 2

Thnx Sathya
Finally I could get rid of Initial Problem. It was silly permission problem. But now stuck in another. When im running

./runInstaller

first it is showing following failure

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 80 MB.   Actual 10055 MB    Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 150 MB.   Actual 894 MB    Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.    Failed <<<<

If I ignore this check and press y to continue, it shows

As my ubuntu is running on VMWARE, may be its not getting the display properties properly.
Also as a clarification
I m doing 

DISPLAY=oracle:0.0 ; export DISPLAY

here oracle is the output of 

whoami

Any suggestion?

    Finally I got it fixed.
    using 

    xhost +

    Now I can see that this was recommended in different forums. However, lets include the steps here also 🙂

    1. log into console as root and open a terminal window within CDE
    2. DISPLAY=:0.0
    3. export DISPLAY
    4. xhost +
    5. su - oracle
    6. DISPLAY=:0.0
    7. export DISPLAY
    8. /user/openwin/bin/xclock – Launched xclock this way to ensure it was working, and it was
    9. Changed back to the directory where the runInstaller was and launched.
