[OpenIndiana-discuss] installing oracle 11g

[Tim Dunphy]

hey again list,

 I'm trying to surmount a small hurdle in installing Oracle 11g on my
oi 151 box.




When I run the ./runInstaller command from the database directory I
get this message

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 <<<<

And it proceeds to throw a java exception if I continue

>>> Ignoring required pre-requisite failures. Continuing...
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from
/tmp/OraInstall2012-05-23_04-01-36PM. Please wait ...-bash-4.0$

I think the key value I need to set is this one:

-bash-4.0$ export DISPLAY='localhost:0.0'


And I've tried a couple of variations including the actual hostname of
the host in place of localhost.

Any thoughts on how I can get past this point?

Thanks
Tim
