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

[RahuldKumar]

I am trying to Install Oracle 10g R2 on Solaris X86 32 bit

I am connecting to system from my windows vista laptop through putty... I get the following error...

$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking installer requirements...

Checking operating system version: must be 5.10. Actual 5.10
Passed

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 250 MB. Actual 1214 MB Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 1799 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openw

Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before

continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.

Continue? (y/n) [n] n

User Selected: No

Exiting Oracle Universal Installer, log for this session can be found at /tmp/Or

I have done the following:-
# DISPLAY=192.168.1.133:0.0; export DISPLAY
# echo $DISPLAY
192.168.1.133:0.0
# xhost+
xhost+: not found
# xclock
xclock: not found

I know that I have to do the following:-
1. Install SUNWxwplt package ========> Is already Installed
2. Set DISPLAY variable
3. Execute xhost + on target (set in DISPLAY) computer

# pkginfo -i SUNWxwplt
system SUNWxwplt X Window System platform software

Some sites claim xming and some xwindows etc.... Plz give me a step by step instruction as how to overcome this..

thank you

You need a space between xhost and +. From the above it would seem that you haven't gor one? Also check you PATH variable.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

bash-3.00# /usr/openwin/bin/xclock
Error: Can't open display:
bash-3.00# DISPLAY=192.168.1.133:0.0; export DISPLAY; echo DISPLAY
DISPLAY
bash-3.00# echo $DISPLAY
192.168.1.133:0.0
bash-3.00# /usr/openwin/bin/xclock
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.133:0.0
bash-3.00# /usr/openwin/bin/xhost +
/usr/openwin/bin/xhost: unable to open display "192.168.1.133:0.0"
bash-3.00#

It is not the space but the absolute.... which also didn't work....

My absolute path says
# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
#

If I have to modify my path... plz advise wat to modify and where to modify

try using xwindows, putty will not work with $DISPLAY unless your PC has xwindows host software.
