You have to use "xhost +" as the user you logged on to the console, then try again.

If you logon to the console with a user, only that user is permitted to "send" the display to the screen. If you do an "su - ora<sid>" that user must be enable to do so too.

- logon as root

- open a terminal windows (a new one)

- execute "xhost +"

- use another terminal window

- execute "su - ora<sid>"

- execute "setenv DISPLAY <ip>:<port>"

- then execute ./RUNINSTALLER in the SAP subdirectory of Disk1 (NOT runInstaller)
