Your 'xhost command looks suspect.  The syntax should read "xhost +
<server>"  (note the space char between 'xhost' and the '+' char).

Subject: Linux xdpyinfo for 11g


Hello All
 
I am trying the install Oracle 11g on Linux.
The server is 
$ uname -a
Linux testsacx 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 17:03:35 EDT 2007 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ xhost+ testsacx
$ export DISPLAY=testsacx:0.0
 
I start the runInstaller and get the following message
 
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
    >>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command
/usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.    Failed <<<<
 
$ ls -l /usr/bin/xdpyinfo
ls: /usr/bin/xdpyinfo: No such file or directory
$

I searched in google for xdpyinfo and came up with
http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:g_aghAprJMcJ:t2-project.org/packages
/xdpyinfo.html+xdpyinfo+for+download&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=11&gl=us
 
I am not sure if this can be used in GNU linux. I will ask the SysAdmin
to get this one setup. But i want to know if anyone has a better idea of
attacking this issue.
 
Thanks
Govindan
