Hi,

Can someone help me with an installation of Oracle 10gR2 on Solaris 10. I believe I have made all the preinstallation task but can't get pass the error below. I'm trying to install on a standalone workstation. (i.e. Sun Blade 2500 with two XVR-100 framebuffers)

I have tried DISPLAY=WMSWS04:0.0 ; export DISPLAY but that doesn't work.

I also tried DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 ; export DISPLAY that doesn't work either.

When I type $DISPLAY in a console I get ':0.0: not found.'

Using paramFile: /export/home/install/oraparam.ini


Checking installer requirements...

Checking operating system version: must be 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10. Actual 5.10
Passed

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 250 MB. Actual 1877 MB Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 2168 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors Failed <<<<
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.

Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before

continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.

Continue? (y/n) [n]

Thanks for any time spent helping me with this,

James
