INS-32008 Oracle base vs user home

stevepenceDec 10 2012 — edited Dec 11 2012

Hi,

Installing 11g R2 on Red Hat

(uname -a
Linux daniel3.wycliffe.org 2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 31 09:04:24 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Under 10.2, (and 10.1 and 9.2 etc...) we made the oracle account's home directory to be /u01/app/oracle, which is also our standard Oracle Base.

But the 11.2 installer doesn't seem to like this. We get:

[INS-32008] Oracle base location cant be same as the user home home directory. Are you sure you want to continue?

This message can "apparently" be ignored and we have successfully installed several no frills 11.2 databases. But why this warning? What is the potential issue here that is troubling the installer? I really want us to be doing things as standard as possible.

Thanks for any help here.

Steve
