Error while Installing 10.2.0.1 Oracle through runInstaller on OEL 6 X86_64


Today while installing oracle 10.2.0.1 on server OEL 6 X86_64  i got weird error.

Installation process  of 10.2.0.1 was failing at 83%
The installation process of 10.2.0.1 RDBMS software on SLES 11 x86_64 throws the following error at 83%,  with “Relinking SGA fetchlet and nmcollector binary”.

INFO: make: *** [nmccollector] Error 2
INFO: End output from spawned process.
INFO: ----------------------------------
INFO: Exception thrown from action: make
Exception Name: MakefileException
Exception String: Error in invoking target 'collector' of makefile '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/ins_emdb.mk'. See '/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions2013-03-07_07-19-04PM.log' for details.
Exception Severity: 1

Later i checked this in Metalink asn according to it this can be ignore. Metalink ID 957982.1 talks about it.

Solution:
1. The popup error concerning the linking of target "collector" at about 83% of the linking process of the 10.2.0.1 base-release install should be ignored.
2. Apply 10.2.0.4 or 10.2.0.5 patchset
