Hi I need to run a graphical application (the Oracle Client Installer) on a RHEL4ES server. At the same time I'm trying to keep the installed software to a minimum. If I remember correctly it isn't necessary to install an X server to run X applications (remotely) but I can't figure which packages are needed to run X clients. I already installed xorg-x11-libs and xorg-X11-xauth but launching system-config-mouse (just a test-case) still reports: "Starting graphical mode failed. Starting text mode instead." The X server on my (Windows) workstation is running, I'm able to launch X applications on another (RHEL3ES) server where the full blown X has been installed. So there must be some package(s) still missing but I can't find any documentation on this. http://decipherinfosys.wordpress.com/2007/06/04/configuring-redhat-linux -for-oracle-10gr2-client-installation/ lists the following prereqs for the installation of an Oracle Client but I'm hoping I won't be needing all this. binutils-2.15.92.0.2-13.EL4 compat-db-4.1.25-9 compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2 control-center-2.8.0-12 gcc-3.4.3-22.1.EL4 gcc-c++-3.4.3-22.1.EL44 glibc-2.3.4-2.9 glibc-common-2.3.4-2.9 gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44.1 libstdc++-3.4.3-22.1 libstdc++-devel-3.4.3-22.1 make-3.80-5 pdksh-5.2.14-30 sysstat-5.0.5-1 xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2 setarch-1.6-1 (I know that control-center and xscreensaver are needed for the installation of an Oracle DB.)
