./runInstaller : syntax error at line 2

Hi all,

I've a problem with oracle10.1.0.2 installation on Solaris 10 (I already know this is possible) but when I run "./runInstaller" command from CD I read "syntax error at line 2" followed by several lines (ex. \200\201\203\206...ect).

Can you help me please? It is very urgent!

It could be due to the fact you may be running an installer built for the SPARC architecture on x86, or the opposite.

No, I 'm sure that I'm working on proper architecture. So I think there is another problem.

Change the first line from:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

to

Code:
#!/bin/sh -xv

Re-run the installer and post the output using code tags.

Post also the output of:
Code:
isainfo -kv
file runInstaller

Hi here you can look the script.

#!/bin/sh -xv
# The environment variable $SRCHOME cannot be set during the installation

unset SRCHOME
+ unset SRCHOME

CMDDIR=`dirname $0`


if [ "$CMDDIR" = "." ];
then
CMDDIR=`pwd`;

fi

# Replace relative path with fully qualified path.


if [ ! "`echo $CMDDIR|grep '^/'`" ];
then
CMDDIR=`pwd`/$CMDDIR;

fi

if [ x${PATH} != x ] ;
then
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH:$CMDDIR/install
export PATH

else
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:$CMDDIR/install
export PATH

fi

if [ x${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} != x ] ;

then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

fi

$CMDDIR/install/runInstaller $*



N.B. the output is the following:

runInstaller: syntax error at line 2: `_`aceijkmnprtuvxyz|~\200\201\203\206\210\211\214\215\216\222\223\224\227\231\232\233\234\235\237\24 1\244\245\246\247\250\251\252\253\254\255\257\261\263\265^D^F^G^H^J^K^N^P^R^T^U^Z^_*,.016>DGHILSTVWY Zbdfghloqsw{}^?\202\204\205\207\212\213\217\220\221\225\226\230\236\240\242\243\256\260\262\264^A`G^ A^A^K^R^Q\220\230^AD^C^KR' unexpected



thank you!
