456175Sep 24 2005 — edited Sep 26 2005Hi,
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

Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before
continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.
