HowTo: Resolve Oracle 11g X-Windows installer issues on UNIX

Sunday, February 12, 2012 Published by satya

Have you run the new Oracle 11g installer on *NIX and received a nasty message?

It happened to me this week! So, let's say you download the oracle11g installer for AIX, start x-windows (I prefer CygWin), export your display, test with xclock, then go into the "database" folder and do: ./runInstaller

These are the errors I received:

Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Well, that's a fine mess!

Before you comb MetaLink and create soft links to other libraries, etc. do yourself a favor and try this:

$ env | grep -i libpath

If your LIBPATH environment variable contains the system's X11 lib, then that's your problem. Mine showed:

LIBPATH=/lib:/usr/lpp/X11/lib:/oracle/oracle8i/product/8.1.7/lib

Removing "/usr/lpp/X11/lib" piece from my LIBPATH resolved the error.

$ export LIBPATH="/lib"
$ ./runInstaller

Success!
