Oracle 10g on Sun Sparc

[vr76413]

Hello guys..

I am trying to Install Oracle 10gR2 on Solaris 10 Sparc machine. This Machine is currently my desktop machine, and iam using Java Desktop Environment.

When i do ./runInstaller , i get the following Error..
==========================================================
$ DISPLAY=204.211.xxx.xxx:0;
$ export DISPLAY

$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking installer requirements...

Checking operating system version: must be 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10. Actual 5.10
Passed

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 250 MB. Actual 2815 MB Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 3078 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set. Failed <<<<

Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before

continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.

Continue? (y/n) [n]

=====================================================

basically it says that DISPLAY Variable has to be set. ...

I already did set my display variable...and iam not sure why its needed when iam trying to install it locally.


any help is appreciated

Try this:

$ DISPLAY=204.211.xxx.xxx:0.0
$ export DISPLAY 

-- OR --
This problem may also be due to root not running xhost +. If this command is not run, then no other user can connect to the display. Stop the installation process, log into the server as root and run:

xhost +
