unable to open display localhost:0.0 in VMware RedHat linux machine

178210Jan 5 2007 — edited Feb 28 2007
I have been trying to Install Oracle 10g RAC in VMware linux virtual machine.

my virtual machines are running properly and I am able to use RSH & SSH.

when I run runInstaller it is not comming up due to DISPLAY environmental variable setup.

I have set the varable as follows
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY

then if i execute xhost + it gives the following error
"xhost: unable to open display localhost:0.0"

I have tried with ipaddress instead of localhost. Eventhen it is giving the same error

What is the problem? How I can solve the issue?

here is the magic for you.
SELECT MAX (column_a)
	   KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY LENGTH(column_a) DESC) magic_4u
  FROM t
 WHERE column_a IN (SELECT     SUBSTR (str, 1, LEVEL)
                          FROM (SELECT :input str
                                  FROM DUAL)
                    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= LENGTH (str))

keep it simple !
SQL> create table t as select '5500' a from dual
 union select '554' from dual 
 union select '5540' from dual 
 union select '5539' from dual;

Table created.

SQL> select max(a) a from t where '&input' like a||'%';
Enter value for input: 5544
