[zhiyangchen]

Hi everyone,

Could you help to check this problem? I couldn't start the GUI interface on RedHat 6 64bit platform.

Have you launched your installer from a console launched in XWindow server?

[zhiyangchen]

I connect the machien from vnc and run the installer by using install-Linux.bin -i swing

[pv7721]

Is the GUI the default installation mode? In that case you don't need to explicitly mention it (with the -i parameter).

[zhiyangchen]

This is the message:

X display............................... remote
WARNING: The name of this host (vm-rh6-64-4) and the setting
of this shell's DISPLAY (:1.0) variable do not match.
If this launcher is being displayed to a Microsoft Windows desktop
through X Windows the Java Virtual Machine might abort. Try running
this installer locally on the target system or through X Windows to
another UNIX host if the installer unexpectedly fails.
UI mode................................. gui


Do we need X Windows lib X11R6 to run the installer in GUI mode?
