Error setting permissions for emwebsite during install

Question

Fisrt I am new to Oracle and this is my first attempt at installing or using an Oracle product. I am installing Oracle 9i standard edition onto a Redhat 7.3 server. At the 88% completion mark the install script fails with the following error (from the log):
Exception thrown from action: copyExpandedGroup
Exception Name: SetFilePermissionException
Exception String: Error in setting permissions of file/directory /home/oracle/Or
aHome1/bin/emwebsite
Exception Severity: 2
1. How severe is an Exception Severity 2? Can I safetly ignore it?
2. When veiwing the /home/oracle/OraHome1/bin/ directory the file emwebsite(.html?) is not present. I assume that this is why the permissions can't be set. Can I just import the file from another location or from the .jar files and continue?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to post my code:
Context context = new InitialContext();
Object objref = context.lookup("MyHome");
TopicHome home = PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, MyHome.class);
// this is where the exception is thrown       
Collection records = home.findAllRecords();
