Hello --
I am trying to install Oracle 10.2.0.3 on one of the servers (running Solaris 5.10). When I try to execute runInstaller I get the following error:
Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set Failed <<<<
After doing lots of debugging, I realized that .Xauthority does not get created when I try to do the install. I am running Exceed locally on my machine, attempting to install Oracle on a remote server. I have followed Oracle documentation, where our admins set up the server accordingly. This is what I have checked so far:
1. I log in as me and then in my .profile su - oracle
2. X11 forwarding is enabled (I am using ssh)
3. I tried to create .Xauthority from my mashine via the following:
no luck there
I have no idea why .Xauthority does not get created. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
