X11 software

[JOHN TURNER_2]

We have a problem, in that we built some hardened servers for a DMZ, and the /usr/bin/X11 directory and software was not included in the build. We now need to fire up an xterm to run the oracle install. Does anyone know where abouts all the software is held. We are running hp-ux 11.00, does the software come on any of the cd packs

can anyone help
cheers

what do you see is issuing swlist;
# swlist -l product X11
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "hpa"...
#
# Target: hpa:/
#

X11 B.11.11 HP-UX X Window Software

there is no x11 software installed on the server, do you know where i can get it from either via cd, or the hp website

Hi,


why do you need xterm to run oracle install ??

you can set DISPLAY environment install
from different machine, if it is windows
you need only Xserver emulation.

But if you want install X11 look at Core OS CDs

[Fred Ruffet]

As Slawomir said, you don't need X. Only libs. Your need X on a windows machine. This can be provided by products such as Exceed, Reflexion X or cygwin (free).

Then export DISPLAY, and run OUI.

If you ares in DMZ, look for 6000 port opening.

Regards,

Fred

all, so far thanks however this is the error that we get when we try and run the oracle installer. When we run the install on a server with /usr/bin/X11 it works. however when we try to install it onto the server without /usr/bin/X11, the following message is generated

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...

Any ideas on why

What is output for this command :
swlist -l product | grep "^ X"
?

You should have these packages :
X11
X11MotifDevKit
Xserver

They can be found on your applications CDs or core OS CD. Install through swinstall. They don't need a reboot.

You don't need to have X server running. Just libs installed. X Server must be run as said on the installation machine.
