Solution
Check the integrity of the file LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip, execute
sha256sum LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip
It should match with "ba8329c757133da313ed3b6d7f86c5ac42cd9970a28bf2e6233f3235233aa8d8" else downloaded file is corrupted. Download the file again from OTN.
If it is matching, clean up the directory and UNZIP the file LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip (image file downloaded from Oracle website) again and re-execute runInstaller.
