EVEN THOUGH I AM INSTALLING ORACLE BINARIES FOR VERSION 10.2.0.1.0, FOR SOME REASON WHEN I INVOKE runInstaller, IT THINKS THAT I AM TRYING TO INSTALL ORACLE BINARIES FOR AN EARLIER VERSION i.e. 10.1.0.0 AND IT DIES.

FYI, i also have oracle version 9i running on the same box. but that shouldn't matter, correct?

My Operating system,

qa5s90db01> isainfo -kv
64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules

------

I installed the oracle binaries for 10g from OTN,
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0)
Enterprise/Standard Edition for Solaris Operating System (SPARC) (64-bit)

Thank you for accepting the OTN License Agreement; you may now download this software.

Download the Complete Files
10gr2_db_sol.cpio.gz (873,334,160 bytes) (cksum - 1491417549)
-------------

Then when i run runInstaller, it thinks that it is running for version 10.1.0.3.0,

qa5s90db01> runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking installer requirements...

Checking operating system version: must be 5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.9

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 5145 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 65536 Passed

All installer requirements met.

Then when i try to install the oracle binaries, it dies saying you need to install oracle version release 10.2.0.0 or later.

An Update, here's what's going on,

Since like i said there is an oracle version 9i on the machine as well, when i try to runInstaller it is looking at the runInstaller version from 9i.
So when i try to do ./runInstaller then it says killed...? What do i do to make sure that i am running the runInstaller from where i want to run the installer from.


e.g.
a5s90db01:/db03/sun_10_binaries_rel2> which runInstaller
/usr/local/oracle/9.2.0/bin/runInstaller

qa5s90db01:/db03/sun_10_binaries_rel2> ./runInstaller
Killed

It is your environment.
Standard Oracle Literature and Practices always recommend to set exclusive paths for each install(Each version in a different home).
So set your ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_PATH to a new area, invoke the runinstaller that belongs to 10g.
