I was trying to Install oracle database 11.2.0.3 on one of newly configured Oracle Solaris 11 X86-64 bit BOX. I have encountered below error message while executing runInstaller: jdk/jre/ lib/amd64/motif21/libmawt.so: ld.so.1: java: fatal: libXm.so open failed no such file or directory Cause: Installer is expecting library file  "libmawt.so" which eventually doesn't exists. So there is  a missing package on OS Solution: Install missing package "pkg://solaris/library/motif" 1 - Search for missing package in repository 2 -  Install missing package 3 - Now runInstaller , it should work normally without any errors: Note: For Installing this package you should have You IPS properly configured. Please refer my blog post about configuring IPS if you need more information:  http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2013/03/configuration-of-ips-on-oracle-solaris11.html Thanks for reading. Happy troubleshooting :) regards, X A H E E R
