Hi This is what I'm trying to accomplish, sorry if that wasn't clear. I have now (reluctantly) installed all the packages listed but still the Oracle installer failed, complaining about libXp.so.6 missing, so I installed xorg-x11-deprecated-libs which provides this. But it still didn't work. Then I rechecked the Oracle installer error messages: Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted And after reading http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter10.html#errors-x 11-proxy I realized that: * when starting system-config-mouse (as my normal user) I was always prompted for the root password * I had used "su - oracle" before starting the installer Running system-config-mouse still fails, even after logging in as root via ssh with X-forwarding enabled, but at least I'll be able to install the Oracle Client now. I'll have to try and install it later with fewer packages installed, for now this project needs to be completed. Thanks for the help Bram P.s. In my defense: I'm just back from vacation, looks like my mind isn't fully up-to-speed yet. :) > Mazda Motor Logistics Europe NV, Blaasveldstraat 162, B-2830 Willebroek VAT BE 406.024.281, RPR Mechelen, ING 310-0092504-52, IBAN : BE64 3100 0925 0452, SWIFT : BBRUBEBB -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > chaim.rieger@xxxxxxxxx > Sent: maandag 25 augustus 2008 17:14 > To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list > Subject: Re: What is needed for a minimal X(org) client installation? > > Try ssh with xforwarding > That list you sent looks complete to me > You migh have the wrong path to xterm > > > Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Mertens, Bram" <mertensb@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:25:27 > To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list<redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: What is needed for a minimal X(org) client installation? > > > Hi > > I need to run a graphical application (the Oracle Client > Installer) on a > RHEL4ES server.
