So...the output of file ./install/runInstaller command is this:

./install/runInstaller : data

Here is the problem. This file should be either a shell script or a binary executable for your architecture. It is not even an executable for x86 or whatever.

I 'm not sure of this, becouse in the Oracle folder I've "runInstaller" file which is a shell script and "install" folder in which I've another "runInstaller" file which isn't a shell script.
I suppose to be in the Oracle path.

Infact in the first case I've this output:

#file runInstaller
runInstaller : executable shell script

In the second case I've this output:

#file ./install/runInstaller
./install/runInstaller : data

I attempted to run both "runInstaller" command but I had the same result.

I hope you understand me

There is no doubt about it.

Either the install/runInstaller is corrupted or designed for a very uncommon operating system.

Hi all, I find the solution.
After FTP the package was not corrupted but the error was in "cpio" exstraction procedure. Infact I utilized these options "-icdumVb" instead of "-icdvb".
Thank you for all .
