I don't want to sound insulting, but is X running?
Are you on console or logged in over ssh? If ssh, is xforwarding enabled? If
so, do you have some sort of X client on your side? Do other X clients work
(eg. xload)?
If console, who are youlogged in as? What user are you running the installer
as?
Why don't you logout, log back in, and show us the value of $DISPLAY (after
describing how you interact with X).
Thanks,
j.

Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] installing oracle 11g
hey again list,
I'm trying to surmount a small hurdle in installing Oracle 11g on my
oi 151 box.
When I run the ./runInstaller command from the database directory I
get this message
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command
/usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.
Failed <<<<
And it proceeds to throw a java exception if I continue
>>> Ignoring required pre-requisite failures. Continuing...
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from
/tmp/OraInstall2012-05-23_04-01-36PM. Please wait ...-bash-4.0$

I think the key value I need to set is this one:
-bash-4.0$ export DISPLAY='localhost:0.0'
And I've tried a couple of variations including the actual hostname of
the host in place of localhost.
Any thoughts on how I can get past this point?
Thanks
Tim
