Hi Deba,

Login with orasid and execute setenv DISPLAY <hostname>:0.X

Where X: session number

Hope you are executing ./RUNINSTALLER using the same tool from where you started SAP installation to have GUI displayed correctly.

Hi Deepak,

I have tried with setting the display but same error.

Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.

I guess the display setting comes as a prerequisite which can be ignored.Though I am not sure.

How are you setting the DISPLAY ?

What happens when you run xclock ?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

I am setting display by setenv hostname:0.0  xclock is not working ue to missing packges in RHEL

I am using VNC viewer here to launch GUI

[Reagan · Accepted solution]

as root

xhost +

su - orasid

setenv DISPLAY hostname:1.0

Try this and update

Hello,

I run into another problem now.Though oracle is installed now but sapinst is again asking for oracle installation.It is not able to detect the installed oracle software.What could be the reason?

Are you running sapinst as root ?

Restart sapinst

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

yes I am running sapinst as root.I have restared but same issue.

One thing I saw in environment variable that oracle_home=/oracle/DE7/112_64

but the folder 112_64 doesn't exist there.Also I feel like the ORACLE_HOME should be

/oracle/DE7/11203

Is here anything wrong?

Did the Oracle 11G installation go well ?

Check where the file libsqlplus.so is located on the server.

Check the environment variables of <SID>adm and ora<SID> users

Regards

RB

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

yes the installation went well.

the libsqlplus.so is located in /oracle/DE7/11203/lib.I have chaked and found--

for orade7

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/DE7/11203/lib:/usr/sap/DE7/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64:/usr/sap/DE7/SYS/exe/run:/oracle/DE7/112_64/lib

for root

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/DE7/11203/lib

is the path set correctly?

Best Regards,

Debaditya

[Reagan · Accepted solution]

switch to orade7 and do

relink all

Retry in sapinst

Also check the groups of orade7 and de7adm and the environment variables of de7adm user.

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH for de7adm should also have the Oracle Instant Client location

Thanks again.After relinking the installayion completed successfully.
