Did you set DISPLAY variable.
like
$export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0;
or
$export DISPLAY=ip:0.0;

Before you run runInstaller, execute 'xclock' to see if your X setup is working.

A few basic questions:

Are you loggin in via LDAP? If so you will need to get your original Magic Cookie (sounds delicious) by issuing command $> xauth list

Get the last string into your buffer then su over to the oracle software owners account then issue $> xauth add <string from above.

----

If no LDAP: make sure your shell can forward X11 traffic. for instance, if you use putty (free, quick download) goto the Category section on the left and click the X11 section. Then in the right side click the check box next to Enable X11 Forwarding.

Next, start your local X server like ReflectionX or other Xserver.

Finally, to check if your X11 connectivity is working, issue $> xclock or xterm (making sure its in your path, else do a locate or find in /sbin.
