Re: Oracle Universal Installer -> java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

The only thing that comes to mind is your "temp" space. What do you have /tmp sized at?

Make sure to have an amount of disk space equal to twice the amount of RAM or at least 400MB, whichever is greater.

Also, point the following environment variables before kicking off the install:

TMP=/tmp
TMPDIR=/tmp
export TMP TMPDIR

If that doesn't work, then try running the installer with a high java heap size:

% runInstaller -ms64m -mx128m
