Oracle Installer:[INS-13001] Environment does not meet minimum requirements

Hi,
I am trying to install the latest Oracle Database software on the latest Oracle Enterprise Linux and the installer returns "Environment does not meet minimum requirements".
Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.3 x86-32
Oracle Database 11.2.0.3 x86-32
cd /stage/Oracle_Database_11.2.0.3_Linux/x86_32/database
./runInstaller
1. Configure Security Updates <next>
2. Download Software Updates <next>
Get the warning screen with the error,
Oracle 11g Database Release 2 Installer:
[INS-13001] Environment does not meet minimum requirements.
Are you sure you want to continue ?
I looked the log file but it didn't tell much.
cd /tmp/OraInstall2012-12-15_04-26-04PM

Hi,
A follow up on my comments from the previous message.
"The DNS server failed to resolve the nslookup using host.domain."
[marcelo]: I don't think this is a major problem, I have installed on the same hardware OEL5 and Oracle 11.2.0.1 without problems.
$ nslookup student03
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
** server can't find student03: NXDOMAIN
"You have incorrect versions of binutils, compat_libcap1, compat-libstdc++-33, gcc, gcc-c++, glibc, glibc-devel, ksh, libaio, libaio-devel, libgcc, libstdc++, libstdc++-devel, make, or sysstat installed on your system. Make sure that the correct versions are installed. For the required versions, see Knowledge Article 169706.1."
[marcelo]: I have reinstalled the rmps but still get the same problem.

  • Software problem? Installed graphics card does not meet minimum requirements

    Ok - I seem to have just met the same problem that others have experienced. MB Pro, less than 3 years old, graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB.  I have been using Aperture up until about 1/2 hour ago with no problem.  Just now trying to sync my iPad, and Aperture (which launches automatically) responds with "installed graphics card does not meet minimum requirements".  All software is fully up to date, running latest versions of all Apple software.  What is going on please?  I have restarted several times, tried Command/Option/P/R on restarting, but nothing seems to make it work.

    You might try to reboot again, this time with the Shift-key hold down to boot into safe mode. This will clear some caches and reset the graphics card. Aperture will not run in safe mode. You will have to reboot a second time.
    Do you use an external Monitor? Then disconnect it, before rebooting.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S: Do you use a blue tooth keyboard? If you turn it on while booting, you may accidentally boot into Safe mode without noticing it, and then Aperture will give exactly the above error message.

  • Adobe CS3 Windows 7 installation says does not meet minimum requirements

    I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium on a brand new Windows 7 machine (32-bit). It is a downloaded copy from Adobe's website.
    When I start the install process, it takes me to the "Options" Screen and will not let me install Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign. All those options are grayed out.
    At the bottom, the reason it gives is as follows:
    "The minimum system requirements listed below needed to run adobe photoshop cs3 are required and are not met:
    - Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
    - Windows Vista"
    It gives the same error for the other 2 programs as well.
    I have tried the following troubleshooting steps already with no luck:
    1. Run Setup.exe as Administrator
    2. Run Setup.exe in compatibility mode (either as Windows XP SP2, or Windows Vista)
    3. Logged-in to Administrator profile and tried installing from there
    4. did the regsvr32 on both vbscript.dll and jscript.dll.
    5. Tried the CS3 cleanup tool at multiple levels.
    6. Made sure there are no other Adobe products installed
    7. Called Adobe Tech support, they are no help. They said to re-install the OS, which doesn't make any sense since it's a clean install.
    No AV installed yet, so that's not the issue either.
    Any ideas?

    I realise I'm a bit late to the party here.. but after spending a few hours going through the Adobe CS3 Bootstrapper and Install process and files, I have the answer to why Windows 7 does not meet the minimum requirements.
    The answer is in the xml files contained in the payloads for the CS3 Installation.
    Line 72786 of AdobeIllustrator13en_US.proxy.xml :
    <SystemRequirementsJSON>[
         {"OS":{"Windows":{"XP":{"Exclude":true,"Require":{"MinServicePack":"2","@servicePack64Bit" :1
    ,"Need64Bit":"0"}},"Server2003":{"Exclude":true},"Vista":{"Require":true}}},
                                  "Memory":{"System":{"Default":{"Require":"512","Exclude":"500"}}},
                                  "Display":{"Default":{"Require":{"Width":"1024","Height":"768"},"Exclude":{"Width":"800"," Height":"600"}}}
    ]</SystemRequirementsJSON>
    Basically it is this: For Adobe Illustrator CS3 the following is supported: Windows XP SP2, or Vista ONLY
    Not Windows XP SP2 or above, or Windows XP SP2 and Vista or above ...
    The same is in several other files, but not all. Illustrator and InDesign are the 2 that I know of.
    I have 500 odd machines that I need to deploy this software to.
    If Adobe would like to offer a work around with consideration to deploying the software silently via Microsoft SMS to 500 Windows 7 Workstations - I would be most grateful.
    My rage at software installer developers with such little foresight is only tempered by the knowledge that the task itself is so difficult.
    However, that does not excuse the lack of thought given to how enterprise level administrators are supposed to deal with updates, patches, and deployments to machines where users have limited rights, and the difficulty that is caused by the inclusion of unhelpful and sparse documentation and software (such as Adobe Updater).

  • Mid 2007 iMac video card does not meet minimum requirements for latest iMovie update

    Tried updating to the latest version of iMovie and I get the following message.  "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements."  I haven't had any luck finding what those requirements are.  What are the minimum requirements?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same issue here too. I'm using a mid 2007 iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of SDRAM and ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB.
    What bugs me is that the update shows up but you are not allowed to install it. Either one of two things needs to happen.
    #1 apple allows users to hide the update but still let you know that there is a hardware incompatibality
    #2 don't let the update show up at all

  • Sp54471 - Does not meet minimum requirements (Trying to get switchable graphics back)

    I accidentally lost my switchable graphics by trying to update using drivers directly from AMD.  I do not have the HP restore manager anymore.  I tried downloading sp54471.exe from HP, but whenever I try to install it, it says I do not meet the minimum requirements.  I have tried useing the Support Assistant tool as well, but it also gives the same error.  When trying to just use the tool to find updates, it does not include anything for the graphics.

    Hi: You need to use this driver... This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp55092.exe You will never be able to update the switchable graphics driver, so after you get things working again with this driver you will have to leave well enough alone.

  • My computer does not meet the requirements for iTunes 7.7

    Okay, so I think all these problems that I'm having are because my new computer does not meet the requirements for iTunes 7.7.
    The requirements are listed here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    I checked my system and I have:
    1. 1.60 GHz instead of 2GHz
    2. 511 MB RAM instead of 512 MB RAM
    I have no idea how to check MB for video RAM or MHz. Since it's not shown in system I'm assuming that this computer doesn't have any.
    The system requirements compared to mine are just off by a bit, but could this still be the problem?
    Also, could I use an older version of iTunes that will work with my system & could you please post the link for the download.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Firstly, please let us know more details about the issue, such as:

  • InDesign 5.5 does not meet system requirements

    Hello,
    Currently I have a much older version of Adobe creative suite, CS3. But I am currently attempting to install CS5.5 Master Collection onto my MacBook OSX 10.6.8. As I get to the Install options, I choose Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign 5.5 as those are the programs I use most. However, though both Photoshop and Illustrator meet my system requirements, InDesign 5.5 does not. I have no idea why InDesign does not meet my requirements. And I would like to wait before installing the programs on my computer as InDesign is the program I use most for my work.
    I would just like to know why InDesign is not compatiable with my current computer and to see if there is a possibility to resolve this issue.
    Please let me know if I should be more specific with my questions.
    Thank you,
    Peter S. Yang

As I get to the Install options, I choose Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign 5.5 as those are the programs I use most. However, though both Photoshop and Illustrator meet my system requirements, InDesign 5.5 does not. I have no idea why InDesign does not meet my requirements. And I would like to wait before installing the programs on my computer as InDesign is the program I use most for my work.
    I would just like to know why InDesign is not compatiable with my current computer and to see if there is a possibility to resolve this issue.
    Please let me know if I should be more specific with my questions.
    Thank you,
    Peter S. Yang
    Hi, Peter Y.: (FYI, "Peter" seems to be among the most popular names on this forum.)
    Please note that Adobe's method of numbering ID releases is confusing in any language. "CS 5.5 Master Collection" is the full and correct collection name, but it's also the full and correct release name of the ID component it contains, as in "InDesign CS5.5," whether referring to the ID component that is integrated into the 5.5 Creative Suite, or to the single ID CS 5.5 product bought outside any Creative Suite collection.
    On Mac, the About InDesign menu item under the InDesign menu will show a different number, just to make things crazy. ID CS 5 in the About panel is "Version 5." ID CS 5.5 in the About panel is "Version 5.5." In the early days before suites, ID 1.0 was version 1. When suites came in, for whatever reason, the new numbering convention came with it. It's absolutely guaranteed to baffle folks in the same way that, in Paris, "the left bank" of the Seine doesn't relate to which direction you're facing - it's always the south bank.
    As Peter S. says, newer installing a newer InDesign release won't damage an installed older release. However, just to be super-cautious, keep in mind that installing a component from within a collection that has the same number as an existing installation of the same product that wasn't part of a collection may cause problems. For example, if ID CS5.5 was purchased as a single product and installed on a computer, installing ID CS5.5 from a collection may cause damage; perhaps someone on the forum knows if a warning message would appear in a case like this.
    Also, it's well known that installing an older version when a newer version is already installed, can cause problems. For example, if ID CS5.5 is installed, installing ID CS5, ID CS4, ID CS3, etc., will cause problems. The issue is that some newer-version files reside in the same location as same-named older-version files, and installing older versions overwrites the newer files; the installers don't catch this problem, and so there's no warning message.

  • Hard drive "does not meet the requirements" for system updates

    Hi,
    I'm running 10.2 and I'm trying to update my computer to the more recent version, except that I've gone through the update downloads on this site and anything higher than 10.3 tell me I need to run 10.3 to run it. When I tried to upgrade to 10.3, I was told that I "cannot install this software on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update". What does that mean and how do I rectify the problem? Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Kappy! I have a similar problem: I had a problem in the past and had to re-install the system. I now have a previous sytem folder on my mac which I do not dare touch. I used to have a later version than 10.3.3 (I cannot remember which). I am now trying to update with the 10.3.9 combo update (just bought a new ipod) and I get the famous "does not meet the requirements" message. I have repaired permissions and done Onyx maintenance - still nothing. I wonder whether somehow the installer detects that there is already some newer component installed and does not want to re-install. I am awfully frustrated... Thanks in advance for your help.
