Install this rpm

yum install libXp

===================


Cause

RHEL4 uses Xorg package
Although RHEL4 no longer uses the XFree86 package, OUI 10g still requires the libXp.so.6 library.

Remark:
This note is not an addition to the following note:
Note 339510.1 - Requirements for Installing Oracle 10gR2 RDBMS on RHEL 4 on AMD/EM64T
It is merely a reminder that OUI depends on default RedHat RPM's that are required to be installed as part of a default RedHat AS/ES 4 installation!

Solution

1) Check Note:169706.1 to make sure that all of the required packages have been installed, including XFree86-libs-4.3.0-78.EL.i386.rpm

2) If the problem still occurs, install package xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20.i386.rpm which also contains the libXp.so.6 library

3) Run the runInstaller
