Thanks much for the reply.

I have changed the ownership of /opt/oracle and all its subdirectories to user "oracle.dba" (or "oracle.oinstall"), and all other components can be installed without any problems.

Because this error has no option of "Ignore" like some others do, this component can not be installed. If I continue with the installation without this component, I will get a compile error during linkage and the installation will fail.

Thanks,
