Xwindow display
I am installing Oracle 10g on UNIX. I have prepared the server in various fields. Then when I started installation, one error message came out like this:

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

So I check .profile and export DISPLAY=xxxx:0.0 (this is SSH secure shell). Then I used #env | more to see DISPLAY=xxxx:0.0. However, when I started runInstaller, the same error message came out again. Please point me to the correct way to fix this. Thanks in advance.

xdpyinfo

XDPYINFO(1)						      General Commands Manual						       XDPYINFO(1)

NAME

       xdpyinfo - display information utility for X

SYNOPSIS

       xdpyinfo [-display displayname] [-queryExtensions] [-ext extension-name] [-version]

DESCRIPTION

       Xdpyinfo  is  a	utility  for displaying information about an X server.	It is used to examine the capabilities of a server, the predefined
       values for various parameters used in communicating between clients and the server, and the different types of screens and visuals that are
       available.

       By  default,  numeric  information  (opcode,  base  event, base error) about protocol extensions is not displayed.  This information can be
       obtained with the -queryExtensions option.  Use of this option on servers that dynamically load extensions will likely cause  all  possible
       extensions to be loaded, which can be slow and can consume significant server resources.

       Detailed  information  about  a particular extension is displayed with the -ext extensionName option.  If extensionName is all, information
       about all extensions supported by both xdpyinfo and the server is displayed.

       If -version is specified, xdpyinfo prints its version and exits, without contacting the X server.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY To get the default host, display number, and screen.
