I deleted my user 'oracle' and then re-created the account following the tutorial on Oracle 8.1.7 installation. When I attempt to execute the install script, the following errors occur:

tilleyrw_at_tillarium:~$ su - oracle

The only indications that something good is now happening are that the Oracle Installer splash screen appears for about 2 seconds and then disappears. The oracle user terminal crashes back to the command line as the Universal Installer exits.

I now can begin to execute the install whereas before bash would complain of a mis-initialized DISPLAY variable. I'm closer but no cigar. Any ideas?

Information and comments are much appreciated.

Thank you, Robert
