Re: Oracle8i on Linux 7.1 HELP - I'm melting

Kevin,

Just a simple one but before logging in as oracle on your box have you (or even logging as oracle on the same box) have you disabled X access control? -

1. xhost +
2. DISPLAY=servername:0.0; export DISPLAY
3. cd /to_runinstaller_dir
4. ./runInstaler

p.s. post the errors to the newsgroup it'll give us more of a chance to help debug.

Paul.
