Linux(RH7.3) and 9idevSuite errors (FRM-91111 and FRM-100039)

Question

I have installed 8i and 9i(r2) on a linux server (Redhat 7.3) with databases running. I have installed the 9i Developer Suite (as oracle) in a separate ORACLE_HOME and can successfully start an xterm session, xeyes, etc as the oracle owner. Also I can start the JDev from the 9iDS install - no problem. BUT when I try to start the forms designer (f90desm.sh or f90desm) I get FRM-91111 and FRM-10039 which, from Metalink, tells me there is a problem with the X-windows and the DISPLAY value. I am using enlightenment windows manager (not gnome). Well, like I said I don't have any problem with x processes (see above) and I looked thru metalink and other newsgroups for help and have tried everything suggested. Still getting these errors.

Answer 1

Sorry - No solution here, but perhaps I can add some to the collection of facts
I'm just starting up this learning curve, so be gentle please.
Running SuSE 8.1, KDE3.
Installed developer from downloaded 9.0.2iDS_LINUX.cpio
to a machine with no other oracle products installed.
Had to modify ./bin/genclntsh to get it to link.
#SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -ldl -lm -lc"
SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -ldl -lm -lc -lgcc_s"
So I admit to being non-standard :(
I start the OC4J HTTP Listener, I can connect to host:8896
My $DISPLAY and xhost permissions are fine, I can run X apps and can run jdev.
./f90desm.sh
FRM-91111: Internal Error: window system startup failure.
FRM-10039: Unable to start up the Form Builder.
In the Bad old days I used to have trouble with some versions of java only working with 8 bit displays. Changed my display to 8 bit, no help.
Tried telnetting in from a SUN and running forms to it's display, same error. (yes, xhost permissions and DISPLAY set correctly and working with other remote X apps.)
Went so far as to "sh -v f90desm.sh" and cut and paste my way though it's actions so I could then "strace f90desm" to look for anything that seemed to jump out at me. I don't know enough to reach any great conclusions, but if anyone thinks it useful I can provide the output.
Suggestions?
