Dear Gurus,

I am installing oracle9i in su-linux.
while running runinstaller script it is giving an error that DISPLAY env is not set
then I set
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
and export DISPLAY variable
then also it is giving same the error message.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in adv

Probably, the script opens a new shell and the DISPLAY variable is not used in the new shell if you export it to your current shell.

Add the DISPLAY variable to the .bash_profile (if bash shell is used) for the oracle user.
