There is a known error in the Installation Manual for 7.3.2 on HP-UX. It is problem ID 1017951.6, documentation bug #366394 and Oracle has a solution that they will FAX to you. Basically what it says is that installation fails when you run ./orainst from the CD-ROM because the installer complains about not finding files because the CD-ROm media shows all files in uppercase and the installer is looking for lowercase files. The solution is as follows:
- Logged on as 'oracle', create a directory called oracle_link.
- Change directory onto the CD-ROM ORAINST directory.
- Execute the START.SH script -- ./START.SH This step will create all the links to the CD-ROM in the oracle_link directory.
- Change directory to the .../oracle_link/orainst directory.
- Execute orainst -- ./orainst
Hope this helps.
