I have followed the instructions concerning Oracle installation on my Debian unstable box which are located at "jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/817.html" and have encountered a problem.

How can I convince my system to allow the oracle user to connect to the X server? When I try to use the installer from another user account, the installer program hangs at the first screen and will not advance.

oracle_at_tillarium:/usr/src/Disk1$ ./runInstaller oracle_at_tillarium:/usr/src/Disk1$
DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
: Operation not permitted

oracle_at_tillarium:/usr/src/Disk1$ xhost + xhost: unable to open display ""
oracle_at_tillarium:/usr/src/Disk1$ DISPLAY=local:0.0 oracle_at_tillarium:/usr/src/Disk1$ echo $DISPLAY local:0.0
oracle_at_tillarium:/usr/src/Disk1$ ./runInstaller oracle_at_tillarium:/usr/src/Disk1$
DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
: Operation not permitted

How can I install Oracle?
