HELP for Newbie: Unable to run GUI installer (Ubuntu client connected to SLES server)
Hello All,
I'm using my Ubuntu 10.04 client connected via SSH to a SuSE Linux server (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) version 11 patchlevel=1).
I'm trying to run an install of WebSphere Portal but can't seem to be able to run the GUI installer.
Running xclock as root returns this error:
Error: Can't open display:
Running xhost returns this:
xhost: unable to open display ""
As far as my very limited knowledge of Linux goes, I don't have to export display while connecting from an Ubuntu client (never had to do that connecting to AIX and some others). So I think it's something on the server side that needs to be configured or run... Your help would be very appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

PENN-INSTALL(1) General Commands Manual PENN-INSTALL(1)
NAME
penn-install - installer for the pennmush flavor mush server
SYNOPSIS
penn-install [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the penn-install command. It was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
not have a manual page.
penn-install is a program that installs the pennmush server in the user directory from which it is ran. It provides all necessary data and
configuration files for each user account it is setup for, as well as the restart script needed to initiate an instance of the pennmush
server process.
penn-install itself should only be run once per user to install the necessary files and links. All updating of the pennmush server should
be done on a global level by the system administrator.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below.
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-v, --version
output version information and exit
AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Ervin Hearn III <noltar@korongil.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
