Encountered below error in linking part in installation of 11gR2:
error in invoking target 'irman ioracle' of makefile ins_rdbms.mk
This error comes when required library is missing, disk temp space is low or swap space is low
I had ensured all oracle rpms were installed prior to starting installation and oracle installer did not give any warning in prerequisites check so I was expecting something unusual. Swap space was filled 95% and it had only 5MB free space. So I increased swap space and selected retried option and it worked.
