HELP! Oracle 11g installation error

Question

OS: RHEL4
Oracle 11g
During the install step an error dialog showed up when "Linking Oracle Net Required Support files 11.1.0.6.0......" The information it prompted is:
Error in invoking target 'ntcontab.o' of makefile '/home/oracle/11g/network/lib/ins_net_client.mk'. See '/home/oraInventory/logs/installActions2007-08-21_03-17-58AM.log' for details.
The log file mentioned above tell me that:
INFO: (if [ "compile" = "compile" ] ; then \
/home/oracle/11g/bin/gennttab > ntcontab.c ;\
/usr/bin/gcc -c ntcontab.c ;\

Exception Severity: 1
If i ignore this, the same error will appear about other *.o target.
What could i do now? I am eager for the help.

That's right this is not related to the above problem, so the gcc issue could be considered as solved. Oracle 11g requires you to have about 1.5 the amount of RAM, if your swap is not configured to meet this requirement, then you should manually configure additional swap space. This should not prevent the process from continuing as long as you check the User Verified box. You can continue and if you notice an increase in the swap space consumption at execution time, then increase the swap area by using swap file space as this example illustrates:
How to create a swapFile
Short on memory? Under 128MB is. Then build a swap file.
Go to Start > Run > Rxvt
Type, then press Enter:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/home/puppy.swp bs=1024 count=800k
Be patient. This will take several minutes.
That 800k translates to 800MB (819,200KB).
So decrease according to available disk space.
Type, then press Enter:
mkswap /mnt/home/puppy.swp
Type, then press Enter:
swapon /mnt/home/puppy.swp
Go to Start > File Managers > uXplor
Drill down to /root/.etc/rc.d/rc.local and right-click and select edit.
Add this line to the bottom:
swapon /mnt/home/puppy.swp
Save the file. This will turn on the swap file upon next boot.
