In a work trying to install ORACLE 11gR2 software in AIX 5.3,


export DISPLAY=local_IPXXX:0.0

it works, can see the clock.


then go to dowloaded oracle, run

/xxx/11g203_AIX64_5L/database-> ./runInstaller

Your platform requires the root user to perform certain pre-installation
OS preparation. The root user should run the shell script 'rootpre.sh' before
you proceed with Oracle installation. rootpre.sh can be found at the top level
of the CD or the stage area.

Answer 'y' if root has run 'rootpre.sh' so you can proceed with Oracle
installation.
Answer 'n' to abort installation and then ask root to run 'rootpre.sh'.
