Thank you to :

yep ORACLE requires at least 400MB of free space in /tmp .
You can either redirect /tmp to a filesystem which has more
space available (maybe even only temporary) or try
and define the environment variable TMP and/or TEMP and have it
point to an alternate directory which is used by some applications
to determine where to place temporary files.
There's a preInstall script available via ORACLE's Metalink the
document # is 137489.1 which will check for a minimum environment.

For their answers. The preInstall script is very useful.
The problem was a typo in for the environment variable ORACLE_BASE and , as
often, the result conducts to some strange behaviour in the creation
process.
