Problem:

There is more than enough disk space available and there is no problem with permissions

Resolution:

If the install script encounters a non-zero status code for any command it will issue a message regarding disk space and permissions such as: install error, check disk space/permissions and try again.

The best way to determine whats causing the error is to execute the install script using the command: sh -x install

Using these options will provide debugging information for the script and make it possible to identify the failing command.

Some typical causes for failure are:

a) User written commands of the same name as the UNIX command being picked up before the system command - solution reconfigure the PATH variable so that UNIX system commands are found first

b) Non-existant directories or commands

c) Missing compoents of the operating system
