Install error : Please make sure TEMP is set to a valid writable directory

673519Dec 12 2008 — edited Dec 12 2008

Hello all.

When i run ./runInstaller on the command prompt.. i get the error below.

# ./runInstaller

Error in writing to directory /tmp. Oracle Universal Installer needs you to have permission in this area to install. Installation cannot continue. Please make sure TEMP is set to a valid writable directory.
: Permission denied

Yes i ran the command using oracle user.
Permissions checked on the partition.
# ls -ld /tmp
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 11 20:11 /tmp

Please help, do i need to change the permission for the /tmp partition? if that is the case, what exactly command should i use to change the permission?
