SAPinst not start - error

Question

Hello gurus,
I´m desperate... why?! Because I don´t know how can I run the sapinst... it gives me a weird error!
I´m trying install ECC6 SR3 on Linux (red hat enterprise linux version 5) with Oracle DB 10.2g
But I´m faccing with a big problem.. I  can not find solution for this...
After entering the command ./sapInst in linux terminal it opens a window SAPInst GUI (in image bellow) that shows an error, even when I click the Log on button it returns to show the same window SAPInst GUI and I do not go from this point...!
SAPinst GUI windows (error could not connect to localhost on port 21212)

So, can you tell me what I have to do to overcome this problem??

Hi Rajesh Narkhede,
My architecture is X86_64 and I already know which JDK I have to install... I install the IBM JDK 1.4.2 , this is recommended for SAP Installation on Linux with 64 bit... Sun has no 64bit 1.4.2 JDK for Linux so I had to install the IBM JDK.
That is in SAP Note 1090932 - IBM download site for special JDK builds - iFix. (and the file that I downloaded and installed in my linux was IBMJava2-AMD64-142-SDK-1.4.2-13.0.x86_64.rpm)
Secondly, it is a fresh install of Linux and FIREWALL and SELINUX is turned off, as you can see in following image:

That two variables JAVA_HOME and PATH I already export them, it seems well done! I also check other things/values that you talk and as you can see below I think we all are well configured:
[root@redhatsap ~]# which java
/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/bin/java
[root@redhatsap ~]# java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 2.3)
IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM J9 2.3 Linux amd64-64 j9vmxa64142-20090310 (JIT enabled)
J9VM - 20090309_31291_LHdSMr
JIT  - 20090210_1447ifx1_r8
GC   - 200902_24)
[root@redhatsap ~]# ls -l /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 10 14:30 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
[root@redhatsap ~]# ls -l /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb 10 14:30 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
And xclock is worked!
But sapinst continue not worked... when I type de command ./sapinst it show me that error! I don´t believe in this... I don´t get the solution for this situation!! Oh man...
Teach me please one thing, how do I set the variables JAVA_HOME and PATH to mantain them permanently even after reboot, because when I do a reboot both variables disappear, they are temporary!! How can I set them permanently in system?
Kind regards
