Hi Kris,

I think your instgui has not been started and variable setting has to be done.

Perform below things.

DISPLAY = <your PC IP Address> ---> on which computer you are running for sapinst...

1. SET your ENV variables correct.

2. SET UMASK 022

3. SET ulimits all

4. Give full permission for all file systems.

Now you can try for ./sapinst

In the installation guide you will find the information regarding starting gui on remote or local system.

Regards

Ashok

Hi

Check out your Java_home environment variable.

As per the above input it is JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_18.

Check out once regarding Enviornment variable Java_home whether the given path is correct.
