Remove all java environment settings from your .bash-profile. Don't forget to run X and check if DISPLAY variable is set. If it doesn't help, find installation log file and check it for errors. Last but not least. I had problems installing when primary group of user oracle was orainstall. Everything was great when I changed primary group to dba. It might be specific to my case only.
