  Hi All: 
  I am trying to install an upgrade to one of my HP servers and 
  it's making me crazy.  The previous DBA used 
  /opt/oracle/ as his ORACLE_BASE.  I have since 
  moved everything to a more ofa-like structure and 
  changed all the pointers and stuff. 
  Now, though, when I run the 8.1.7 installer from the CD, it 
  tells me... 
  [oracle8 SD_CDROM]$ [oracle8 
  SD_CDROM]$ ./runInstaller [oracle8 SD_CDROM]$ You do 
  not have permission to write to the inventory <FONT 
  size=2>/opt/oracle/oraInventory. Installation cannot continue.: Permission 
  denied 
  [oracle8 SD_CDROM]$ [oracle8 
  SD_CDROM]$ 
  I have looked and looked for something pointing to 
  /opt/oracle.  I cannot find a thing.  I do 
  not want to create a link there because that will just 
  perpetuate the problem.  Does anyone know where the <FONT 
  size=2>installer looks for this stuff? 
  TIA, Mike
