RE: Linux xdpyinfo for 11g

Your 'xhost command looks suspect. The syntax should read "xhost + <server>" (note the space char between 'xhost' and the '+' char).

Subject: Linux xdpyinfo for 11g

Hello All  

I am trying the install Oracle 11g on Linux. The server is
$ uname -a
Linux testsacx 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 17:03:35 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ xhost+ testsacx
$ export DISPLAY=testsacx:0.0  

I start the runInstaller and get the following message  

Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors

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

$ ls -l /usr/bin/xdpyinfo
ls: /usr/bin/xdpyinfo: No such file or directory $

I searched in google for xdpyinfo and came up with http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:g_aghAprJMcJ:t2-project.org/packages /xdpyinfo.html+xdpyinfo+for+download&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=11&gl=us  

I am not sure if this can be used in GNU linux. I will ask the SysAdmin to get this one setup. But i want to know if anyone has a better idea of attacking this issue.  

Thanks
Govindan
