Installing OBIEE 12.2.1.4 and getting File not found /lib/libntcps12_ee.a.dbl error

Question

I am installing OBIEE 12.2.1.4 on a new (clean) Linux X86 server I've successfully installed Fusion Middleware with no errors and have an Oracle Home directory: /Oracle_Home I've copied the installation files: fmw_12.2.1.4.0_bi_linux64_Disk1_1of2.zip fmw_12.2.1.4.0_bi_linux64_Disk1_2of2.zip and unzipped them both and they yield: bi_platform-12.2.1.4.0_linux64.bin and bi_platform-12.2.1.4.0_linux64-2.zip when I run ./bi_platform-12.2.1.4.0_linux64.bin I get the following error during the copy phase: File not found /Oracle_Home/lib/libntcps12_ee.a.dbl Any suggestions? I'm stumped

Feeling a little stupid.

Forgot to check this:

Setting the Operating System Open File and Processes Limit

To change the Open File Limit:

* Log in as root and edit the following file:/etc/security/limits.conf
* Add the following lines to the limits.conf file.* soft  nofile  4096 
* hard  nofile  65536 
* soft  nproc   2047 
* hard  nproc   16384

The nofiles values represent the open file limit; the nproc values represent the number of processes limit.
* Save the changes, close the limits.conf file.

Damn those DBAs not willing to share a temporary DBA account

I have no idea why you get the issue, actually my install was fully automated as it's inside a Docker container.

Here is the commands in the order they were called (the 2 ZIP archives are located in /opt/oracle/install ) :

cd /opt/oracle/install

unzip fmw_12.2.1.4.0_bi_linux64_Disk1_1of2.zip -d ./tmp_bi

rm fmw_12.2.1.4.0_bi_linux64_Disk1_1of2.zip

unzip fmw_12.2.1.4.0_bi_linux64_Disk1_2of2.zip -d ./tmp_bi

rm fmw_12.2.1.4.0_bi_linux64_Disk1_2of2.zip

$(find /opt/oracle/install/tmp_bi -name *.bin) -silent -responseFile ...

rm -rf /opt/oracle/install/tmp_bi

It looks just like what you do as well, I don't see why yours would be missing a file (in MOS there is a document with a similar issue with the same error for Oracle Forms, I doubt it's your issue ...).

Maybe the only difference with you (which maybe isn't one as not detailed) is that my archives are always outside the Oracle Home folder and I extract them both into a new folder just to make sure that all the content goes there (and doesn't override something else somewhere else).

First -I appreciate you looking at my issue.

Yes, that's exactly where I got the binaries.

I haven't tried the silent install because I do not have privs to create the repository schemas. I need to have the scripts generated for our DBA's to run.
