Hi Everybody,
I have installed RHL9 over my IBM desktop, and now I wish to continue installing Oracle 9i over it.
I have got the oracle 9i data as 3CDs.On inserting the first CD and I execute runInstaller.sh it says

Code:

[root@localhost linux]# ./runInstaller
 
The user is root. Oracle Universal Installer cannot continue installation if the user is root.
: No such file or directory

So i logged in as a user and again i tried it

Code:

[tester@localhost linux]$ ./runInstaller

You need to be running X. Yes, I know, it's crazy. All the stupid installer does is run a bunch of shell scripts any way, but Oracle has decided that you must have an X server to run their installer, so there you go.

root      4154  4094  0 13:07 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients

Won't the above indicate that X server is running ?

Please help me , I am new to Linux.....

Typically, X isn't listening on the IP, and you use DISPLAY=:0.0.

Poking around, if you're curious: If you care, check with lsof for what's listening on :6000. And ssh -X localhost (in the same or a separate terminal) would probably even make the way you first tried work.
