xhost + unable to display :0.0

1130 Views

Hello,

I am currently trying to install Solution Manager 4.0 on SUSE 9. I am running into problems at the first hurdle :-).

I am launching sapinst and I get the following:

GUI engine: no engine connected - waiting for connection on host <hostname> on port 21200

I followed the following intructions as per install guide and I am executing this install on a local host with no remote connection:

> umask

> export SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/java/jre/bin

>export LIBPATH=/sapmnt/SMG/exe

>cd /sapinsallSMG# --> run /sapcds/installmaster/IM_LINUX_I386/sapinst

I have set the env variables from root as follows:

> export DISPLAY= <hostname>:0.0;

>xhost + --> this gives unable to display :0.0

host 'unable to connect to :0.0' even though i have set the env variables? I am realy puzzled by this and my boss is about to castrate me 😔

Many thanks

Brendan
