X11 uses some "MIT Magic Cookies" to authorize its users, and
those might not pass through "su" or "su -" and/or the access
rights needed to use the cookie files.

For the duration of your installation, you can execute (as X11
server session owner - i.e. root - inside that session):
# xhost + localhost
This should allow any connections from localhost to this DISPLAY.
Likewise for any other named client host; or just "xhost +" to
permit anyone in (firewall and/or private LAN recommended).

Then, before you "su", take note of your (root's) current setting
of DISPLAY and export that after "su"ing, i.e.:
# echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
# su - oracle
$ DISPLAY=:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
$ .../runInstaller &
