   I have been searching for answers to this question ... but all I have found   
   is other people asking the same question..but I have not found an answer...   
      
   I am trying to install Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 on x86.  When I run the   
   installer I get the following error message:   
      
   "Error in writing to directory /tmp/OraInstall2006-10-12_05-05-40PM. Please   
   ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 69 MB of disk space.   
   Installation cannot continue"   
      
   Even though /tmp has more than enough space, and I have changed all the   
   permissions for /tmp recursively to 777.
