unable to install oracle database client on Linux

Hi Friends,

Let me explain the scenario first:
I have installed Oracle virtual box on windows host and have created Oracle Linux virtual machine as guest. I have installed the database server on my host machine but rest of the things(Peoplesoft peopletools etc....) on Oracle Linux guest.

Now, I am trying to installed database client on guest machine which is Linux so that I can connect to DB server running on host, but having difficulties in doing so. Its kinda messy, I am following the installation instruction given in the doc docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24322.pdf, but when I finally run command runInstaller.sh doesn't happen anything.

Actually, to install other software's I just double clicked the .sh file and it automatically started the installation process on a terminal window but when I clicked runInstaller.sh to install DB client, it didn't do anything.
Also, when I run the same command runInstaller.sh from command line after navigating to the directory where this file is present, It throws me error saying "no command found".

By the way, I wonder why the steps given in doc are so complex, I wish If I could just double click runInstaller.sh just like others and it start the installation process.

Anyone have installed Oracle DB client on Oracle Linux 6.4 please give the simple instructions...

Thanks in advance.
