Oracle does not have permissions to run the jre executable on the CD-ROM.

Make sure the the /cdrom mount point has the correct permissions.

 % ls -al /cdrom

 drw-rw-rw- 2 root system 512 May 09 08:58 .

 The permissions on the /cdrom mount point should be rwxrwxrwx (777).

 To change the permissions on the /cdrom mount point, do the following as the  "root" user:

 % unmount /cdrom
 % chmod 777 /cdrom
 % mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom (for AIX)

Login as the "oracle" user and run the runInstaller script from /cdrom.
