Hi,

Got error when I try to execute runInstaller executable, please have a look at the status

Quote:

Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking installer requirements...

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

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 2870 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors Failed <<<<
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.

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] n

Kindly suggest me what shall I do?

I have set environment variable like below

setenv DISPLAY 128.155.38.7:0.0

I am accessing this server where unix is installed through telnet from my machine.

Thanks.

You still need an X environment. Did you invoke it?

And the fact that you set the DISPLAY variable to 128.155.38.7:0.0 doesn't tell us much, since we don't know if that is the IP of the database server, or your workstation, or just the IP you found on the internet in the example on how to set the DISPLAY variable.

(Which might be, since it is in a public IP block belonging to NASA in Hampton, Virginia)

Thanks for all your informations.

Can't I run OUI with X environment? Do we have any other alternative to do this?

Let me know any other information which would help you.

Thanks.
