Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.
What is the output from
Code:
echo "${DISPLAY}"

If it is blank, check the prerequisites regarding your X-Terminal in the Oracle installation guide.
The $DISPLAY environment variable should point to the IP address for your X-Terminal.


I wouldn't start the installation until you can get xclock to work.

xdpyinfo is not required. You could install with IgnoreSysPrereqs.

here is the output, even though I tried to export the display it does not populate to other terminals


Code:
[root@MIAZOEVMSD01V ~]# xclock
Error: Can't open display:

Code:
[root@MIAZOEVMSD01V ~]#  DISPLAY=MIAZOERDP01V.stg.rbi.local:0.0; export DISPLAY
[root@MIAZOEVMSD01V ~]# echo $DISPLAY
MIAZOERDP01V.stg.rbi.local:0.0

That tip from @mark54g looks very useful.
Oracle introduced an awful X-Windows front screen to the install process at Oracle 8, and yet the install process itself does not need X-Windows.

Have you actually installed an X-Server on your computer?

Btw. I've only ever tried DISPLAY with an IP address (not a machine name).

I have used IPaddress too its still not working, updated the same in oracle .bash_profile too.


-bash-3.2$ echo $DISPLAY
10.124.131.53:0.0
-bash-3.2$ cd ../../../database/
-bash-3.2$ ./runInstaller
