After regaining myself (really: you were installing WHAT version?!?), the
usual things:

- did you do xhost +?
- does xclock work?
- do you have access to /tmp and /etc?
- did you create a special Oracle user, or do you try this as root?

Trying this as root is an extremely bad idea! Received on Mon Sep 04 2006 - 08:14:46 CDT
