Ok, try this:
ssh -x sun_host
On sun host:
echo $DISPLAY
make a note of the value.
sudo su - oracle
export DISPLAY=value_you_previously_noted
/path/to/runInstaller
Does that work?

Subject: RE: Xterm issues
Thanks for the emails
I was running the 'xhost +' before, just forgot to mention it.
This time I did use the ssh -X command from the xterm to go to the sun
server. Before I was using a separate ssh client to log into the Sun
server. After logging in I noticed a message that said an entry was
added into the /home/<username>/.Xauthority file. I ran xclock again
and then it came up on my laptop without any errors, I did not have to
set my DISPLAY variable.
I then did a sudo into the oracle user on sun to kick off the installer.
The installer made me set DISPLAY. After starting the installer it
eventually through the error: Can't connect to X11 window server 'my IP
address:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. I could see the
following with netstat -a
<sun server>.55671 <my PC>.6000 0 0 24820 0
SYN_SENT
Thanks for the help so far
