Oracle Installation create a reference in /etc/oraInst.loc on Linux

The following error installing Oracle 11gR2 on Linux -
You do not have sufficient permissions to access the inventory '/u01/app/oraInventory'

is caused by an old install of 11gR2 pointing to a directory that no longer exists.

The inventory location is kept in /etc/oraInst.loc
altering oraInst.loc or deleting it fixes the problem
