runInstaller doesn't do anything (11.2.0.3/AIX 6.1 64bits)

Hi gurus,

I'm trying to install Oracle Database software in silent mode, but nothing happens:

$ ./runInstaller -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile /private/drs/db_install.rsp

********************************************************************************

Your platform requires the root user to perform certain pre-installation

OS preparation.  The root user should run the shell script 'rootpre.sh' before

you proceed with Oracle installation.  rootpre.sh can be found at the top level

of the CD or the stage area.

Answer 'y' if root has run 'rootpre.sh' so you can proceed with Oracle

installation.

Answer 'n' to abort installation and then ask root to run 'rootpre.sh'.

********************************************************************************

Has 'rootpre.sh' been run by root? [y/n] (n)

y

This is my user:

$ id

uid=501(oracle) gid=501(oinstall)

/app is owned by root, however /app/oracle is owned by oracle:

drwxr-xr-x    5 root     system          256 Sep 09 11:35 app

drwxr-xr-x    5 oracle   oinstall        256 Sep 10 16:10 oracle (/app/oracle)

Thanks for your help guys.
