It might be me but when trying to install a program isn't it desirable to
be logged in as root?
[root@localhost linux]# ./runInstaller
The user is root. Oracle Universal Installer cannot continue installation
if the user is root.
:No such file or directory
for those of you who are not linux savvy, root is the account that should generally be in use for installing software.
