Do you have enough space in /tmp? Post the output of "df -h". Also, have you messed with /tmp's permissions? Post the output of "ls -ld /tmp".

Temp has sufficient space as you can see from the comment.....
Checking Temp space: must be greater than 250 MB. Actual 1292 MB Passed
In any case I am sending the output of df -h for double confirmation:
swap 1.3G 648K 1.3G 1% /tmp
It also has permissions for all users:
-bash-3.00$ ls -ld /tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 12 root sys 720 Oct 31 09:50 /tmp/
Any ideas?

This may be a common Oralce installation error on Solaris. Found a lot of questions regarding this on internet, but no concrete solution.
Hi,
do the files which the installer declared missing exist?
Did you download a packed file and unpack it? Might it be that some filenames/pathnames got corrupted while unpacking?
Please check!

The directories its looking for ../stage/Components/oracle
But the real folder names is ../stage/components/oracle
I am reviewing the runinstaller script to see if I can change the folder name Components to components.
If its really the folder name that's causing the issue, then its a very lame mistake by Oracle to be inconsistent with the folder names!!!.

Oops, and that's no joke?
Don't forget to change DataFiles to datafiles!
