I thought i will create a new thread for this so as not to get confused.

# sh ./runInstaller

Hi Grayh,

There are different versions for HP-UX Pa-Risc and HP-UX Itanium.

are you using correct version?

See the below thread.

Hi

run installer as oracle with ignore system pre requirement parameter because of your version of hpux:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPreReqs

Is this a question or statement?

I think it is not a question ...

You have 11.31, but you need to have 11.23.

[Oviwan]

for more info check note id: 169706.1 then HPUX on
http://metalink.oracle.com

they didn't adapt the runInstaller script for 11iv3

[Grayh]

Just now I have realised that... but

$ sh ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPreReqs

Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2008-09-26_01-09-59PM. Please wait ...
DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
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.
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':
%
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/bin/X11/xclock

[Oviwan]

just read the message this should be clear. before start runinstaller test the x window config with:
xclock

Hi :

It appears that this is a continue of your thread here:

It is far better to not open multiple threads about the same issue. Better means better for you as well as the community --- today and tomorrow when someone trolls through these threads.

That said, the Oracle Installer *must* be run in an X-Window environment. If you need a *free* X-Window server for a Windows environment, I like 'Xming; :

It's pretty easy - run for example xming on your pc, then use putty to connect to the server:

> putty -X
