10g installation error... Need help

Question

I launched the ./runInstaller comman, met all the installer requirements, and then this:...
[oracle@localhost database]$
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InteranalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using 'localhost.localdomain:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
What should the DISPLAY value be, and is that supposed to be set in the environment while user is oracle?
I used the...
$ /sbin/ifconfig to find the inet addr:75.4.93.84
then executed...
$ DISPLAY=75.4.93.84:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can try to as following:
Run "xhost +" login as root user;
2,export DISPLAY="127.0.0.1:0.0"
Regards
TerryWell I tried that.
Here's what I did as root:
[root@adsl-70-131-46-217 ~]$ hostname
adsl-70-131-46-217.dsl.emhril.sbcglobal.net
[root@adsl-70-131-46-217 ~]$ xhost + adsl-70-131-46-217.dsl.emhril.sbcglobal.net
This is what I did as oracle:
[oracle@adsl-70-131-46-217 ~]$ export DISPLAY="127.0.0.1:0.0"
This is my error:
[oracle@adsl-70-131-46-217 ~]$ Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using '127.0.0.1:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
Then there are a bunch of lines at read 'at sun...[stuff] at java...[more stuff] at oracle...[and more stuff]'
Any ideas?
