You will be able to install oracle binaries successfully but during during SID creation you will get the above error.

Reason:

The prerequisites have not been met.

Resolution:

  1. Check the proper oracle binary version. Oracle binaries should be downloaded for proper OS versions.
  2. sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.11.1″ : The prerequisites have not been met. Make sure the “gcc” package has been installed.

I will suggest you to download the suggested oracle rpm packages and start the installation again.
