X-Server access is denied on host

[Fatal Error] DISPLAY variable set incorrectly: :0.0

[Resolution] Verify that your DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly,

and that there is an X11 server on the system. If you are

running the Oracle Installer as a different user or on a different host,

you may need to use the xhost command to ensure that host/user

has permission to write to your display.
