I found quite a few posts relating to a hung installation although none solved my problem, so I'm posting.
RHEL5 x86_64 Oracle 10.2
Performing silent install with response file for enterprise version.
The software installation proceeds without error:

. . . and it hangs there, using 100% cpu. I've stopped it after an couple hours or so.
I've done this installation on a different machine with similar OS and all went fine (configuration included).
I've read a number of posts on the issue, so here's what I can say I've checked:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Prerequisites:
I have triple checked all my prerequisites (these are identical to the other installation which went fine)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Make.log:
No errors in install/make.log file. I can also relink fine. There are libnjni10.so files in my libs and libs32 directories and I have set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well as LD_LIBRARY_PATH32
The only suspect lines are these (only warnings):

I have tried stopping the install, running the configToolsFailedComands script. Ive tried running running the netca by itself, running the dbca by itself. I've tried using the line from the configToolsFailedCommands script, and also a response file. The dbca command will run if I try:
dbca -help
but just about anything else and it simply hangs.
I have no idea what's going on anymore, and will have to abandon this install if I can't figure this out. Any other ideas?
Thanks

No. I'm installing from a remote terminal but the box is pretty much standard.
There is a previous oracle client (thick) installed elsewhere on the machine - I have been careful to make sure that the ORACLE_HOME used in installation is not associated with that one.
It is also behind a fairly unforgiving firewall - is it possible that the netca and dbca scripts are having network connection issues? I have seen posts regarding unplugging the network when these scripts hang. This isn't an option for me as I'm remote.

So basically
-If you can start xclock, the graphical Oracle programs should also work.
-If you can't start xclock, set up working X11 forwarding first. (Or edit the configuration files by hand with out the graphical assistants)

I could do X11 forwarding, but what does that get me?
I've done the install on a different machine with a terminal using the configuration files and everything proceeds smoothly.
I checked the hostname/network prerequisites listed in the oracle install manual again and all seems fine.

You may be able to obtain additional clues by doing the following:
strace netca | tee /tmp/capture.log
I suspect an error of omission, but exactly what is still TBD.

The dbca script is running now. Thanks for the responses.
