Hi ,
The error typically comes if there is a missing OS package. In most cases its the 32 bit version of glibc* package
First establish a sorted list of installed rpm's :
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n" | sort >/tmp/rpmlist.out
Then compare the content of the file rpmlist.out  with the pre-requisites provided in the OTN documentationand ensure that all packages including the required 32 bit OS packages are installed on the OS:
Ref
Install the missing rpms then then re-try installation.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/preinstall_req_packages.htm#CHDGGGDH
Also ensure none of the other ORACLE related env varibles are set
example
NLS_LANG
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ORA_NLS10
TNS_ADMIN
PATH
CLASSPATH
ORACLE_HOME
