Dear all

I need help to get rid of errors. I am trying to install Oracle 11gR1 on Red Hat Enterprose Lunux 5 installed as guest os on my Oracle VM Virtual Box

[oracle@lnxsadock-pc database]$ DISPLAY=lnxsadock-pc:0.0
[oracle@lnxsadock-pc database]$ echo $DISPLAY
lnxsadock-pc:0.0

Can't connect to X11 window server using 'lnxsadock-pc:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
lnxsadock-pc:0.0
lnxsadock-pc:0.0
OUI-10025:Unable to start an interactive install session because of the following error:Can't connect to X11 window server using 'lnxsadock-pc:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. The DISPLAY environment variable should be set to <hostname or IP address>:<screen>, where the <screen> is usually '0.0'.
OUI-10026:Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
- For csh: % setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
- For sh, ksh and bash: $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY
Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
echo $SHELL
Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:
echo $DISPLAY
- Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
OUI-10027:To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
% xhost +
To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':
% <full path to xclock... see below>
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for 'xclock': '/usr/X11R6/bin/xclock'
