Hi,

I'm not sure how similar Linux installation is to Unix installation but with Unix you must have the Display variable set to the client you wish to have the installer displayed. This client must also have an XTERM client running.

Please set the followings

Step 1:

Step :2
-----------
Login as Oracle user

and set

$ DSAPLAY = Hostname:0.0

export DISPLAY

Surely it will work.
