Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1 Arg List too long

I untar'ed the install segments and followed the install instructions including setting users and groups and installing JRE 1.1.6.
When I run runInstall I get the following error:
$ echo $ORACLE_BASE
/opt/Oracle/oracle01/app/oracle
$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/opt/Oracle/oracle01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5

$ ./runInstaller

Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Argument list too long
I am running Mandrake 6.1 and I am trying to install from oracle's home directory into another directory.
Help!

Joseph,
Don't use the runInstaller, but go to the install/linux dir and do ./runIns.sh
Worked for me ;-)
good luck!

  • Buildall.sh env: javac: Arg list too long

    Hi, Having trouble building dbxml in SmartOS (opensolaris). 
    While building Berkeley DB for Java in a long javac command, the script breaks with error:
    env: javac: Arg list too long
    make: *** [db.jar] Error 126
    $ getconf ARG_MAX
    1048320
    returns a fairly high number - I built the same on FreeBSD with a much smaller number. 
    Any suggestions on how to get this built and what is causing the problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    WORK AROUND:
    cd ./dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix
    create file dbsrcs.txt that lists all the java source files listed in the JAVA_DBSRCS environment variable
    it should look like this:
    ../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ErrorBuffer.java
    ../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ExceptionWrapper.java
    ../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ExceptionUnwrapper.java
    ../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/PackedInteger.java
    ../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/keyrange/KeyRange.java
    save dbsrcs.txt file inside dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix directory
    # nano Makefile
    find line:
      $(JAVAC) -d $(JAVA_CLASSTOP) $(JAVACFLAGS) $(JAVA_DBSRCS)
    and replace with
      $(JAVAC) -d $(JAVA_CLASSTOP) $(JAVACFLAGS) @dbsrcs.txt
    while inside the dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix directory, run make, to just compile Berkeley DB only
    once completed, go back to dbxml-2.5.16 and run
    ./buildall.sh --enable-java
    since Berkeley DB was already built, the build script will see this and skip the Berkeley DB compile since it's already compiled!

  • Cp leads to  "error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long"

    With certain PDF files to which I've added a lot of extended attributes (using Skim.app, a PDF reader/annotator which stores its notes in extended attributes), Chronosync and Finder drag-drops don't preserve extended attributes like they're supposed to (i.e. the notes aren't viewable on copies of the document). When I use cp to do they copying, the following message appears in system.log:
    error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long
    Googling it returns no results

    Hi Derick,
    error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long
    I have no idea why you get this error when copying a file...
    There is a max size for each extended attribute (about 3800bytes), and if I try to create (by using a simple C program) an attribute larger than this limit then I get "Argument list too long" error. But in your case you are trying to make a copy of an existing PDF file whose extended attributes should be smaller than the limit, of course (Skim has no magical power of creating an attribute larger than the limit; if the note is too large then I guess Skim just splits the note into two or more attributes).
    Q1: do you get the error only if you (try to) copy a PDF file with large notes? or you also get the error for a file with only small notes? How about a PDF file with many small notes?
    Q2: are you copying the PDF file to external volumes? If so, are you sure it is HFS+? What happens if you copy the PDF file to the same internal disk volume, for example
    cp your.pdf tmp.pdf

    I get the same message with Mandrake 6.1.
    But I had no problem installing Oracle 8.1.5 std under Mandrake
    6.0.
    My guess is that Mandrake made some small change that broke the
    installation script.

    How large is ARG_MAX in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h and
    MAX_ARG_PAGES in ./include/linux/binfmts.h? On my system (RH6),
    ARG_MAX is 128K and MAX_ARG_PAGES is 32 (4K pages). The argument

    pretty long!

  • Universal Installer CreateOUI :argument list too long

    I am running RH6.1 using KDE and JRE117_v3.

    Any solution would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks PB

    I found the answer.
    It's a bash-related problem.
    It's making a list of all that files, and this is too big.
    If I change my command:
    jar -cfi ../blues.jar .
    the directory is visited file by file and there's no problem about 40.000 files (it only takes 20 minutes :)

  • Argument list too long

    I got a directory of about 40.000 files.
    I'd like to abuse jar for archiving those files because
    a) I'm used to the syntax of jar
    b) I thought that enabling indexing, the search for a single file could be very fast.
    I said:
    > jar -cfi ../blues.jar *
    and I got:
    > jar: Argument list too long
    I got this error on linux, using jar of jdk-1.4.2-beta.
    Is this a problem only of the linux-jar?
    I started to test this out on an windows pc, but hadn't the time to finish the test, but it looked, as if it would work, because it didn't fail for the first 20 Minutes :).
    (It fails nearly immideately on linux).
    Is this an error of jar, or of bash?
    Would it work, if I create a shell-script, which adds the files one by one?
    Will an index really speed up the search for a single file?
    It seems to me, as if only directorys are mentioned in the index-file?
    Is there a well defined maximum of files that can be put into a jar file?

  • Error message :ORA-01704: string literal too long

    Hello:
    I need your help. I have a long long string must be insert to
    database. I use long data type and long varchar data type to
    define table. But I got the error messages is ORA-01704: string
    literal too long when I insert data. Please tell me the solution.
    Thank you so so much.

    Hello,
    I have a table with a column "XML_Data" of type CLOB.
    I am trying to insert XML of the size 59975. I
    get a error message ORA-01704: string literal too
    long.
    How to enter that large XML??
    Regards,
    Sanjeev.Try using Oracles XMLDB, by dropping the XML file into the XMLDB WebDAV area and then you can access it directly through the database "resource_view". No limits on file size whatsoever.
    If you're using XML within an Oracle database you're better off doing things this way as it gets stored in an XMLType column (sys.xmltype) which is a superset object of the CLOB datatype, providing all the object methods you need to navigate, update and query your XML. You won't be able to do much with it just sitting in a CLOB column without re-writing the wheel that Oracle have already built.

  • Crawl Log Error: "The filename or extension is too long."

    Hello All,
    I get this error for some files on my SharePoint 2010 error log. The fix suggested
    here does not work as its for earlier versions of sharepoint 2010. I have verified the files in question have a title lenght of 120 characters and Name(Link) with character lenght of 71.
    Whats weird is sharepoint indexes some similarly named files but exempts the other. These files are basically the same just named different as they belong to different users.
    Any help?

    It could be because of this also:
    Assume that a custom list in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 site or in a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 site contains a multiline text column. If the data size of the custom column is more than 100 kilobytes (KB), only the first 100 KB of the data
    is indexed when you perform a crawl on the SharePoint site. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
    The filename or extension is too long.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

    Any suggestions on what else may be causing this?

    PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
    If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!
