Oracle 11g installation: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission Denied

Nischal ManguJun 8 2011 — edited Jul 14 2011
I am trying to install Oracle 11g on my Red Hat Linux 5 and after completing all the pre-requisites (creating directories and kernel settings etc.) when I tried to run the 'runInstaller' as the oracle user, it gave me this error:

bin/sh: bad interpreter: permission denied

Any suggestions on how I should fix this? Here is the description of what I tried:

[root@oradba1 ~]# ls -l

-rw------- 1 root root 944 May 26 09:26 anaconda-ks.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28060 May 26 09:26 install.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3987 May 26 09:23 install.log.syslog
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 May 27 06:36 sem~

[root@oradba1 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@oradba1 ~]$ /media/Disc/database/runInstaller
-bash: /media/Disc/database/runInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
