I am trying to install Oracle database 11g in my Red Hat 6.4 and the installer aborts with a warning followed by an error message:

Warning ">>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set. Failed <<<"

Error mesage: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.INternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the valeu of the DISPLAY variable"

I checked the DISPLAY variable and its value is ":0.0". I run /usr/bin/xdpyinfo and it does not work. It returns:

No protocol specified
xdpyinfo: unable to open display ":0.0".

This problem occurs only with 'oracle' user.

I am in a Virtual Box machine.

I solved the problem modifying the way as I logged in with oracle user.

I was typing: su oracle

And then I did: su - oracle

and it worked.

I was loading the root instead of oracle environment variables.

I hope that it helps someone else.
