orainst /c

I don't use orainst /m as it's always been a bit flakey in my experience.

: I'm having a problem also: when orainst.motif executes (called from
: orainst script when given the /m option), I get a User Interface
: Failure: Windows System Startup. I've tried running this from the CDE,
: OpenWindows, and the command line, and get the same error. I've fiddled
: with all the $TERM and $ORACLE_TERM settings I can think of, and still
: this err.

orainst -h gives a bit of info on probable causes etc.

• snip -- User Interface Failure: Window System Startup The most likely cause of this error message is ORAINST not being able to locate the Toolkit 2 terminal resource file. ORAINST looks for the file

             ${ORACLE_TERMINAL}/tk2c${ORACLE_TERM}.res or
             ${ORACLE_TERMINAL}/tk2c${TERM}.res

           where ORACLE_TERMINAL and TERM are shell environment variables,
           when starting up.  The ORACLE_TERM variable, if set, has precedence
           over the TERM variable.                                             

-- snip --

Check the env vars are set and not being munged in the orainst script 'set -xv' as the first line after the #!/bin/sh will echo what is being expanded, etc.

Check that you can start a xterm on the $DISPLAY that you have set (ie no permissions problems due to starting X as one user and another user trying to start apps on it).

Are you using an xterm or a dtterm - try the other.

Other than that 'orainst /c'.
