Re: Installation question RH 7.2 - Ora 9.2

The script says it will execute a binary ./install/linux/runInstall . I've set the permissions to 755 and 777 on this file, but still I get the dreaded:

./runInstaller: cannot execute binary file

This leads me to believe that binary file has problems. I notice that on Jun 2, 2003, Apple posted to the same problem to this newsgroup. (Apple so far is silent about the fix). Could it be an Oracle problem? If its a free download, how does one go about resolving the issue?
