Hello,
I was installing Oracle 10.2.0.1 on RHEL4 following the installation guide. At some point it's recommended to configure the oracle user's environment. I made a "slight" mistake where they ask to configure the display if we're not installing on the local system ... I did enter $DISPLAY=beretta:0.0; export DISPLAY Beretta is my pc's name, but it is NOT networked, and I am installing ON it. I totaly missed that instruction.
I thought maybe it's gonna be ok,and when I started the installation of the database itself, just after I passed the first checks, I got the error, "can't open the display beretta:0.0".
I followed the troubleshooting techniques described on the appendix G regarding that error message, but I couldn't fix the problem. When I entered the command and tried to install oracle again, the new error message was that: "the DISPLAY is not set"
My laptop is not networked, and I am installing the database locally. Can someone help me? Is it necessary in my case to set the display? What am I doing wrong? What did I miss?
Thanks in advance.

I checked the /etc/hosts file and I there was an entry for Beretta, like the following:
127.0.0.1 Beretta localhost.localdomain localhost
After I set the display again, I tried and execute ./runInstaller and I got the following:
[B]Can't connect to X11 window server using 'beretta:0.0'[/B] . I got the same error using localhost:0.0., and that's where my install stops.
A ping on Beretta gives me a positive reply.
How can I fix that?
