Description:
============
After setting the DISPLAY variable on the machine, the above error is still seen when running the installer in GUI mode.
Causes:
===========
Intaller uses 32-bit JVM's as launchers. Java needs a X library package called "libXtst". If that library is not found on the system, Java will not allow any GUI operations.
However, these 32-bit libraries (which used by 32-bit JVM) are not installed by default on Redhat Linux 6.
Resolution:
===========
Run the following commands on the machine to check whether the 32-bit libraries are installed.
rpm -q libXst
Output: <package_name>
rpm -ql <package_name>
Output: libraries included in this package
Install the 32- bit "libXtst" libraries if they are not found on the machine.
Environment:
===========
Redhat Linux 6.x
